But the guys were saying the new trend is to have a computer that serves 8 or so traders.... rather than 8 individual computers. Its called Blade technology or something like that?!?

MMm... i dont think its cutting cost. There will be good reasons for this set up. Our client spent HK$170million on the fit out of their office, incl. all their IT equipment.....

my ex company uses blade, think its becoming the industrial trend. its smaller in size but in reality, the set up had an adverse effect on reliability unless they are cooled v well.

Yeah, all the i-banks are changing to Blade but you are right, unless its powered and cooled appropriately then it may not be the best option... Problem with most buildings in Central where ibanks are, is that there isnt enough power/cooling for the demands of the banks! Even ICC hasnt got sufficient power/cooling!
