Imagine your IT department adapting 
easily to rapidly changing business needs. 
In contrast to vendors of traditional 
approaches, we deliver a state-of-the-art 
architecture that makes your dream a reality.
Chassis Compromises
The problem with traditional blades and with the PowerEdge M1000e architecture 
begins with the blade chassis itself. Rack-in-a-box blade architecture takes all 
the complexity of a rack (top-of-rack [ToR] switches, management modules, etc.) 
and squeezes it into every blade chassis. When you replicate this complexity 
multiple times per rack, you get even more complexity. In fact, you get far more 
complexity than a rack full of traditional servers with ToR switches. The PowerEdge 
M1000e architecture turns each chassis into an individual island that doesn’t 
allow bandwidth to be shared outside each chassis. Changing applications or 
scaling resources requires you to reconsider the way that all components in the 
chassis are connected, leading to a cabling mess and networking errors that 
prolong deployments. Customers must determine when a new Dell switch module 
is necessary and what kinds of I/O adapters are used on each affected blade. 
Changing networking modules or updating blades to take advantage of new 
Intel architecture requires administrators to continually rethink and manage each 
infrastructure island. Dell’s aging architecture limits flexibility and innovation in 
several ways:
•  Multiple local management modules are necessary, and an external software 
overlay is required to present these individual components under a common 
interface.
