I am currently using the ibm blade centers with xen and it works flawlessly only troubles i have run into was the fiber card the driver was a little hard but partly due to the fact we were not using a normal ibm supported os.

I am thinking about purchasing a blade server for our company to run
our xen servers.

unfortunately i am not too familiar with how a blade server works...
my understanding is that you have on central enclosure that handles things like
power supply and such.
and then you have the blades which are basically individual computers
with cpu/memory/hdd.

so could xen be installed on such hardware?
where are the network interfaces located?
on the blades or the encloser?

TIA,
Tomoki
