RE: Egenera

It's a very expensive blade platform for very limited value over traditional blades or random rackmount Linux boxes. Basically they have a proprietary backplane that allows blades to be stateless. They definitely work, though. I'd be happy to talk to you off-list about them.

Thanks,
Matt

Our CIO wants to go with a new blade server vendor - Egenera. Anybody out there currently using them? I have, like most of you, SLA's that I don't want to entrust to something unproven.
