IBM Flex Chassis VS Competition

  

Vs. Cisco UCS 5108 Chassis

 The Cisco UCS 5108 chassis

cannot support industry-standard networking

.  Uses a

proprietary variation

FCoE

and Fabric Extender (FEX) devices.   It

cannot support

native Ethernet or

Fibre Channel

(FC) With UCS, all blade-to-blade and virtual-machine-to-virtual-machine network traffic must traverse to the

top-of-rack (TOR)

switch first which results in

high latency

and

network bottlenecks

The UCS 5108 chassis supports only

one network connection

than the 5108 chassis

vs. Dell PowerEdge M1000e

 In the Dell M1000e, the

management

 Dell’s switches in the M1000e require connection is

100 Mb/s Ethernet all internal ports to be licensed

, no matter how many are actually in use.  Requires an

optional

KVM over

IP (iKVM) module

in order to get local analog KVM access to individual   blades The Dell M1000e

does not

support any

direct-connect storage

expansion for blade nodes Always sold with a full complement of nine fans, even if the chassis configuration does not require

all nine fans

  Chassis Management Controller (CMC) in the Dell M1000e

Does not have handles does not support SNMPv3

IBM Flex Chassis VS Competition

vs. HP Blade System c7000 Platinum

 Is an aging chassis architecture , soon to be replaced with

HP Moonshot 1500

 The management connection is

100 Mb/s Ethernet



Shared storage

is possible only via a Virtual Storage Appliance (

VSA

), that occupies

at least 2-

 

blade slots

Shared storage solution must be based

on iSCS

I, and it must be managed separately

Mixing half-height and full-height blades

bays in the same chassis can result in unusable chassis   The Onboard Administrator module Switches require

The Problem:

Today’s networking offerings lack the flexibility to meet the

demands

of the next decade of I/O. Clients are often burdened

now

with the costs of technology for

tomorrow
