Each profile can be individually created Profiles can be generated from a template

Without profiles, blades are just anonymous hardware components
Consistent and simplified server deployment – “pay-as-you-grow” deployment
Configure once, purchase & deploy on an “as-needed” basis
Simplified server upgrades – minimize risk
Simply disassociate server profile from existing chassis/blade and associate to new chassis/blade
Dynamic server provisioning – reduce purchases by time-sharing servers
Re-purpose servers by changing profiles in an automated manner
Enhanced server availability – purchase fewer servers for HA
Use same pool of standby servers for multiple server types – simply apply appropriate profile during failover
