Good point...part of what we are looking to do, is server space
consolidation.

If I can get 3-4 servers (ESX) in a 2 U server, great.  If I can get 16
servers (Blades) in 6U of space, great.  Then, the decision is
administration, reliability, performance.

So is it just for future expansion, or for a specific project? If expansion,
I'd probably play safe(ish?) and go with blades, if its a specific project
then ESX might be a better choice.

The problem with blades, as people are saying more and more now, if the fact
they produce more heat than standard servers, so you need to ensure your
data centre can take them, too.
