Dell?s marketing has been trying to emphasize their competitiveness with blades, but do the facts support such boasts?
Dell?s third attempt at blades, the PowerEdge M1000e was introduced in January 2008 with Dell a distant 3rd in the blade market. We wondered, ?In the year that has passed since Dell introduced their new blade has their competitive position changed much??
Bottom-line: While Dell?s marketing is trying to emphasize that it is more competitive in the blade arena their market position hasn?t really changed since they introduced their new blade system last year. See the Real Story that you can use to refute Dell?s claims.
