Will be running a pretty beefy application, approx 1000 concurrent users. Looking at both the IBM 1U XSeries 335's and that EServer BladeCenter. Anybody recommend anything else from IBM or have any experience with any of these. Thanks much Chris ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - NetX Inc.
