Hardware Blades versus Software Blades

Hardware Blades

Fabric switchBackplane

Hardware Blades

Software Blade

Backplane

Scale: Backplane (Forward Interconnect) scales intra- and inter- platform; Multiple blade types (Intel architectures) supported

Performance: Compute to IO ratio balanced. Resources can be dedicated or shared. Flat fabric for up to 32 platforms or 196 software blades. No protocol change for scale.

Agility: Flexible sizing, capacity, and performance in each dimension: compute, memory, IO, and networking. Move to subsequent Intel architecture by simply adding one or more new Intel platforms onto the backplane

Security: Dedicated resources (no noisy neighbor)

Scale: Fixed size backplane; Fixed blade types and limited number per chassis;

Performance: Compute to IO ratio unbalanced. Oversubscribed network interfaces; 2nd level fabric (protocol convert) inter-chassis communications.

Agility: Requires physical changes to modify type or number of blades

Security: Dedicated resources on individual blade (no noisy neighbor); Inter - chassis IO concerns

Software Defined Blades

Assertion: Software-defined Blades provide significantly greater flexibility, higher resource utilization, performance, and scalability than hardware blades
