The Blade Systems Alliance (BladeS) is a forum for end users, consultants and vendors who are interested in the deployment and application of blade systems. In cooperation with the worldwide community of advanced users of modular and blade-based computing systems, the Alliance has the mission of promoting multi-user standards for modular systems management and racking; working with the user community to address real-world data center and advanced computing issues; and delivering information, programs and forums to educate and inform.

"This new event represents a new standard for high-level business and networking among the users and vendors of blade-based technologies, as well as an unbiased source of information and insight for everyone involved with blades."
