If you want to follow up, you know how to get hold of me!<br /><br />What I really like about UCS right now is the management aspect of it. The software while complex looking at first looks to be very different. I will know more on that in the upcoming weeks as I dig into it.<br /><br />Here's how I see the market right now.Aaron Delphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330656671495950454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841626496323335774.post-42322792136793463112010-02-06T01:10:31.073-05:002010-02-06T01:10:31.073-05:00As I don't work for a Cisco reseller (but do d...As I don't work for a Cisco reseller (but do do a lot with VMware+storage), I've been tracking UCS overall....thanks for the very detailed posts.<br /><br />In reading them though, I'll admit I'm just seeing a whole ton of complexity that almost feels mind-boggling at times (I'll admit for the record I'm not hugely crazy about blades in general ;-).<br /><br />If you don&#Andrew Milerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263475416850154092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841626496323335774.post-81504333391303782082010-02-02T10:49:04.897-05:002010-02-02T10:49:04.897-05:00Hey Brad!

One was that answer (came from the BU), and I have received another technical one that is slightly different. I can share with you via e-mail if you would like. I don't want to post here in case it isn't correct.<br /><br />Thanks again for the comment!Aaron Delphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330656671495950454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841626496323335774.post-65944589740823994712010-02-02T10:45:47.654-05:002010-02-02T10:45:47.654-05:00Aaron,

Typically you would use 2 of those for vHBA's, so that would leave 56 vNICs available for VM's or hypervisor switches.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BradBrad Hedlundhttp://www.internetworkexpert.orgnoreply@blogger.com
