Overview:
Blade clients are rack mounted boards that contain a full PC, including processor, memory, hard drive, graphics, and operating system. IDC interviewed 10 customers using blade solutions for their desktop computing at the end of 2004 and asked respondents to quantify the costs and benefits of using ClearCube blade clients in terms of cost savings, productivity increases, and general satisfaction. IDC concludes that blade clients, in addition to providing significant increases in security, availability, and manageability, can reduce desktop operating costs by 40%. The technology delivers tangible and substantive benefits for certain classes of users, including high-density large enterprise, security-conscious military, and high-availability departmental or enterprise computing. Companies with high requirements for serviceability, security, availability, or low-noise environments should consider a blade client solution for a significant part of their end-user computing needs.
