Blade system is nothing but the group of blade servers, you can say group of chassis.
Dell, HP, Fujitsu, Sun, Lenovo all provide blade servers.
Blade servers are easy to manage and can have less cabling than traditional servers. Single blade server can have hard drives, memory, multiple I/O cards, have ability to connect to multiple networks also can connect to external SAN storage. Blade servers can overall reduce IT costs, time and efforts.
Blade servers are best for
1) Cloud System
2) Virtualization
3) Streaming
4) Web server and caching
5) Big applications
