A Comparison of IBM’s New Flex System Environment to Traditional Blade Architectures

Which has better performance and a stronger ROI?

Published June 2013

In this Research Report, Clabby Analytics takes a closer look at IBM’s Flex System converged architecture. We compare the new Flex System advanced blade offering to its closest rival: traditional blade architecture. And what we find is that Flex System offers superior manageability, faster communications, more storage capacity (using up to eight internal solid state drives [SSDs] per compute node) and better storage management - as well as broader/better physical/virtual system management - than all of today’s leading blade competitors.
