Data Center Blade Server Industry Overview
The market for data center blade servers is moderately consolidated, with the presence of some significant players in the market. Additionally, these companies are continuously investing in strategic acquisitions and partnerships to gain more market share. Moreover, as the companies need higher initial capital costs to enter the market, the barrier to entry for new players is high. Some of the recent developments by these companies are mentioned below.
- January 2023 - Cisco, in partnership with Intel, announced the launch of new servers powered by the advanced Intel Xeon processors. Intel unveiled the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, while Cisco introduced the new flexible, more powerful, and sustainable servers based on Intel innovation. Powered and managed by Intersight, the UCS X-Series can support workloads on a blade-server architecture that has historically been only practical on rack-based servers.
- January 2023 - Cisco announced the launch of the 7th generation of UCS C-Series and X-Series servers, powered by 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. With support for the latest Intel processors, Cisco has launched two new blades for the X-Series: the Cisco UCS X210c M7 Compute Node and the Cisco UCS X410c M7 Compute Node.
