Many, many servers these days run as virtual machines -- but there was a  time when virtualization was still just catching on, and companies  needed physical servers to be as dense as possible. So let's look at a  blade server system from around 2010 that packs 32 CPU sockets and  weighs 500 pounds!

Thanks for posting such an in-depth video. Really descriptive and detailed as always. Where I once worked we had racks of these, great units.

We are just removing 6 C7000 from our infrastructure after nearly 10 years of running vmware and citrix. Nice to see this video here
