Transforming IT from good to great
I am impressed with your blog- It offers good technical information about how to use the Cisco UCS.
Has Cisco UCS been sold in the 320 server configuratin yet? I feel with all the features it has, the best value will be in deploying an entire rack with 320 blade servers.
Email me if you want to hear more.
UCS has only just been shipping so the 320 blade setup is not at any customer I’m familiar with, though we use it in large configurations at Cisco (not sure exactly how much, but we’ve been using it for a long time).
You’re dead right, though: UCS is about scale. 320 blades running between 50-100 VMs each is a mighty configuration that requires dynamic and agile operations – GAME ON!
Hey brother – wondered what happened to ya. Good to see you’re still “in the family”. Nice site!
Ok…
So just to bring this “thread” up to speed.
There were 512 Blades or 16 Racks (4 Chassis per rack) in the VMworld Datacenter.
(Thought you would like to know…)

Great to hear from you Dan!
Steve how are you tackling the performance management aspects for end to end application visibility and how do you ensure consumer credibility is maintained. I work for Integrien and I am often challenged with the question, looking for some other insight from your point of view
OpTier and other products?
