UNSOLVED
Storage within blade
Will dell release any storage solution within blade ?
After study the whitepaper and compared to HP c-class system.
Dell have no passive connection between blade and it only possible with I/O modules.
But with some kind of SAS fabric module, it even can build whole storage solution using this blade enclosure.
Consider storage blade using double-width, we got 2 x4 SAS connection to *each* I/O module act as in/out (or 4 x4 SAS but need 2 I/O module for redundancy). That fabric connect each half-height slot 1-in, 2-out, 3-in, 4-out, 5-in 6-out.
Now it possible to get rid of MDx000 enclosure ;-)
Does dell working on these ideas ?
