I've done an installation that ended up using 70 IBM blade servers.
They worked quite well.  Still not convinced about the IDE hard drives
on those but they didn't seem to be too limiting of a feature
(surprisingly)

The G3 also have redundant power... We primarily use DL360 and DL380s.
No
blades and no plans to use blades.

Looking for opinions out there about Blades vs 1U's for Citrix Servers
in an environment where the quantity of servers will grow quickly.

Do you use Blades in your Environment?  If so, do you find them more
advantageous than 1U 360's?

In the past we stayed away from HP 360's due to high failure rates on
the Power Supplies, but the new G4's have a lot of power and
redundancy in that 1U now.

Care to share your thoughts?
