We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Virtualization: Hitachi America Fields Its Second Blade Server
Smaller, lighter, denser and less power-hungry than its IBM and HP rivals

Hitachi is bringing a blade server that it's been selling in Japan since September to the US, claiming it's smaller, lighter, denser and less power-hungry than its IBM and HP rivals.

The 6U Xeon quad and dual-core-based BladeSymphony 320 has 10 slots and maxs out at 80 cores per chassis, 560 cores per rack. It's directed at mid-market companies and enterprise branch offices and will run Windows and Red Hat; Hitachi has seen little demand for Novell.

Entry-level pricing starts at under $10k.

Five months ago Hitachi introduced the bigger Xeon- and Itanium-based BladeSymphony 1000. Both machines use the same management software.

Hitachi claims to be reinventing the blade server market, investing its widgets with mainframe-style features including N+M high availability and cascading failover plus hot-swap blades, power supplies and components.

The new blade server offers a 100V power option; no special wiring or cabling is required. It is supposed to required as much as 60% less real estates than comparable models.
