Cubix’s unique blade architecture is the only platform that can provide all of the following benefits for your test environment:

1. High processor density, integrated KVM, and shared peripherals save valuable rack space.

2. Out-of-band management provides unprecedented control and system environmental status even if the network is down, or even if the network is saturated with traffic..

3. Cubix's flexible blade architecture allows a mixture of operating systems, processor speeds and configurations to co-exist in a single chassis.

4. Modular subsystems can be easily removed and replaced, improving chassis serviceability.

5. External cabling is reduced by sharing peripherals, integrating the KVM switch, and utilizing a single n+1 power system for as many as 8 server blades.

6. Costs are reduced by integrating the KVM switch and sharing subsystems such as the management supervisor, floppy drive, CD-ROM drive, and power system among 8 blades. 

7. Cubix offers flexible configuration options such as a dual Cardbus interface for testing  PCMCIA Type II devices and COM 1 and COM 2 and USB connections.
