The Compaq blades suck, IMHO. Who wants a 2.5" IDE drive in their
"server"? OK, it's fine for DNS, small mailing and all that, but when do
WE at $company need 30+ DNS-servers? Christ.
In my eyes, the only winners in the whole blade-debate would probably be
Dell, which incorporates proper SCSI on their machines. It takes more
space, but that's not a big issue. Man, why even buy blades when there
are 1U servers out there?
Cramming 42 units inside a 42U cabinet would be enough IMO. (Or even 47
units, with Compaqs 10647 rack)
