The blades, I'm assuming, are 2 way processors? It would be a waste to throw
ESX on them. You'll get less users on the blade servers with ESX. You would
end up buying more blades to house your 200 users. ESX would be fine for
test environments where your testing applications, compatibility those types
of things. Things where performance and number of users are unimportant.
