here you can have more detail about the product from INTEL. I would like to share couple of my finding with thier product itself. It does work similar as blade server with more flexibility in term on the local SAS storage. Normal Blade server will only allow SAS HDD to be mounted locally to the specify blade and will not able to share across, but INTEL Modular server will able to do so. The Local storage and blade is working separately which you can provision according to your need. This will improve the hardware utilization from storage perspective. If you require bigger storage, INTEL do have their own Storage solution today which connect through the SAS cable. This should be good for those SME or factory usage as you may always consider to simplify the unmanage IT environment.
