BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager makes it even easier to deploy your blades with preconfigured connections and a simple graphic user interface. BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager automates blade deployment by intelligently managing the interaction between the blades and the storage and data networks. You define the connections just once and BladeCenter OpenFabric Manager takes care of them after that—so you can be ready in minutes, not days. BladeCenter OpenFabric Manager also helps reduce costly downtime with automatic failover capability. And of course, there’s no need to redo your network standards. BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager works across the BladeCenter family of chassis and switches.

BladeCenter is also designed with extensive redundancy to help reduce failures. Unlike some competitive products, BladeCenter servers provide dual I/O and dual power connections to the chassis for enterprise-class reliability to keep your business up and running.
