Today we are just going to address the back-end capabilities of DELL and HP Blade chassis'.
Dell has gone for a more traditional Fixed design. You have 3 pairs of slots, the mezzanine cards in the blade can only be mapped to the fabric that is matched to the board.
Hp allows you to connect to other fabric modules regardless of server mapping. In the C7000 chassis you have a larger number of fabrics as well.
So if you are looking for scalable versatility HP is a better choice. If you know what modules you'll need and don't want to upgrade then ... dude you're getting a Dell.
Have a great weekend everyone.

I have a request - do a forward looking prediction on how SSD will change (or not) IT.
INSANE SSD
