Margins are slimmer on blade systems compared to mid-range systems. Manufacturers are attempting to gain market share and sell volume. The anticipation of making profits from supplemental service, such as warranties, consulting, and systems integration is a market factor. Blade servers consolidate and simplify the reduction of tangled cables. The spaghetti mess is literally 200 cables coming out of a 2-meter rack. It is very easy to disconnect the wrong one. Hewlett Packard leads worldwide blade server market shares with 56% in 2002 in a $158 million market. IBM is number two in the blade sever market with 22% market share participation.

Growth drivers are Linux clusters and blades. Server consolidation is driving UNIX low- end substitution. The small and medium business market represents over 50% of the Intel- based market. In 2002, IBM gained 12 points in 4- way Intel servers, and 17 pts in 8- way Intel servers. IT spending on blade servers at $158 million in 2002 is expected to grow to $11.8 billion in 2008. There was an increase from $25 million to $269 million in the worldwide low end blade market for the years 2002-2008.
