I appreciate all the information from everyone. From all the research that we've done we are hoping to go with IBM Servers and Blades but if the pricing isn't close we will most likely choose Dell. We understand IBM is going to have better management, denisty, etc and if money wasn't a factor IBM would be our #1 choice. But on the flip side with Dell, we are a Dell shop, the Dell pricing is better, and Dell's support has been great. I will say I'm very disappointed that no one brought up Hitachi's Blade Servers or even Silicon Blade Servers. :-) Thanks again for all the information and laughs!
