InfoWorld.com’s Test Center awarded Dell’s blade server portfolio the “Editor’s Choice” award today.  Senior Contributing Editor, Paul Venezia, says, ” From a purely hardware perspective, the Dell PowerEdge M1000e is quite a compelling system. The vastly increased number of individual blade options — including the introduction of novel high-density blades such as the PowerEdge M420, the impressive PS-M4110 storage blade, and the Force10 MXL 10G/40G blade switch — offer more flexibility and scalability than ever. ”  The review goes on to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of Dell’s portfolio, so even if you aren’t a fan of Dell, it’s worth reading.  You can find the full article at http://www.infoworld.com/d/data-center/review-dell-blade-servers-tip-the-scales-201705.
