Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the challenges and design choices in a BladeCenter™ environment and the modeling that was used to make the choices and trade-offs unique to the midplane product. The midplane in the BladeCenter system can be defined as a flexible interface to attached shared devices. Second, the channel methodology is correlated with the hardware VNA measurement.
