As data centers have grown with the proliferation of Intel-based servers over recent years, it is important to note that rack space and floor space can be more efficiently used with the use of the IBM eServer BladeCenter HS20 servers. Attractive cost savings are also possible where a large number of rack installed servers are required, since the equivalent number of 1U servers would be much more expensive. This paper describes how to set up and configure Linux and Samba on the IBM eServer BladeCenter and provides some pointers on managing the installation. It also describes the functionality of the IBM eServer BladeCenter in this type of environment.
