Selling Blade in a Cross Brand Environment | 2007-08-14 | IBM |
| The IBM Bladecenter was introduced in 2002. It was released at a time when computing requirements were growing and clients demanded a creative solution to address several issues - computing density, performance, cost and ease of manageability. IBM Bladecenter was positioned for this purpose and thus saw huge success, growing strong as the market leader for 13 consecutive quarters. The landscape today, however, has pretty much changed. It has become clear that what is defined in 2002 has fast become today's IT practices. Most clients today are familiar with blade technology and to add to that, all major vendors today have their own blade offering. | |||
