Realizing the Full Potential of Server, Switch & I/O Blades with InfiniBand Architecture
This paper will explore the differences between LAN based server blades vs. InfiniBand based blades. It will be shown that, fundamentally, bus and LAN based implementations fall seriously short of meeting the stated requirements. The InfiniBand Architecture delivers the critical capa-bilities to realize all of these attributes while significantly improving overall system performance.

A Blade Server Primer
As demands placed on data centers grow, blade servers provide a convenient means of massively extending the device density. As with any technology, you gain in one way and lose in another; the increased density places a greater burden on the human operator. It's entirely possible that the problems of blade management may usher in the "next big thing" in the form of autonomic computing.

Design Considerations for High-Speed Internetworking Among Compute Blades within a Blade...
The next generation of compute servers will be based on clusters of compute blades integrated within a common chassis. This paper examines the internetworking requirements for incorporating several very high-speed and redundant communication links on a common midplane for the interconnection of compute blades within the chassis and to the external network infrastructure.
