IBM is cooking up a server blade that combines grid computing and virtualization to aid consolidating massive amounts of information across a business.Read on.The appliance, revealed at LinuxWorld in San Francisco, is dubbed the IBM Information Server Blade.
The appliance is a marriage between the IBM BladeCenter HS21 servers running Red Hat Linux with the company's Information Server data integration software. The result is an appliance that uses data virtualization to allow access to disparately sited data without the user needing to know where it is physically stored.
The Information Server Blade uses the IBM Systems Director portfolio to provide a centralized dashboard to manage workloads as well as physical and virtual machines within the pooled environment. It also utilizes Tivoli Workload Manager to enable workload-monitoring across blades.
