Nice… But no integrated network in the server chassis? Come on…
Make it a 3U and put a Cisco 3750 inside and drop the external NIC ports.
We really don’t need more cables in our data centers.

The integrated network and san infrastructure that blade system usually come with is an important feature. The HP C7000 chassis is excellent and I’m sure Dell and IBM have equal products.

The power rating is simply amazing. Any one have any idea on its pricing?
