Hello Kamus,

I've two years experience in my old company with Egenera Bladeframe. Final
score for me is: 0 (scale 0 - 10).

Bladeframe has a lot of problems and PAN manager has a lot of bugs...
Fujitsu support really susks and also the internal knowledge about product
is really low.
Many times we have just discovered bugs, fatal bugs, and have to wait weeks
for a custom patch.
We had problem last year with internal switches that after an upgrade
stopped working with our cisco networks. Fujitsu took us 3 days of downtime
before undestand how to rollback to previous release.
We have run on it both windows and linux systems. You may installed only
certified images from Fujitsu. Linux systems usually have experienced kernel
panic. Windows instead blue screen.
In case of uprgade windows systems always loose network interface and you
have to reconfigure it.

I can go on talking for hours, but if you can, don't buy this poor product.
