The facts about Blade power efficiency: Edison Group rates IBM BladeCenter #1
 

IBM BladeCenter H requires nearly 10% less power than the equivalently configured HP BladeSystem c7000. You really can go green and save with IBM BladeCenter® systems.

Designed from the ground up to help dramatically improve power utilization and reduce energy costs without sacrificing performance, IBM BladeCenter systems are the RIGHT choice for energy efficiency.

 

Edison Group, an independent technology analysis and consulting firm, compared the power consumption of IBM BladeCenter with a comparable BladeSystem blade server configuration from HP. Edison Group found that IBM BladeCenter H requires nearly 10% less power than the equivalently configured HP BladeSystem c7000. Extrapolated over 224 servers and with an energy cost of 9.4 cents per kilowatt-hour, this can save you up to $12,000 per year.
