While I have never used them in production, I did a fair amount of testing
on the BL20P and the BL40P.  My suggestion: wait for the next major rev.
They are not as easy to configure as the vendor would like you to think.
And their are many performance limitations (# of NIC ports, etc).  I've
been told HP is addressing these issues.

On a side note, they make great web servers.

Is anyone out there using the HP/Compaq blade servers with MetaFrame?  Do
you like them?  Would you recommend them?  Any issues?  Any feedback is
appreciated.
