Hello all – Just a quick note that I haven’t been posting because I spent the last week getting the site up to speed on Wordpress. The site is now configured with plug-ins, feeds are on feedburner, etc. If you are reading this on the feed and you haven’t been by the site, take a look and let me know what you think!
Also, I just got back from the doctor and I have Bronchitis. Not fun!! I’ll be laying in bed the next few days so no new posts for a bit longer. Thanks!

The new site layout looks good, Aaron.
Sorry to hear your not feeling well. Hope to see you in the office soon!
Thank you very much! I’ll see you soon.
The new layout looks very good Aaaron. Can’t wait for the new posts once you get feeling better.
Sorry bout the typo Aaron
Jeromy - Thank you very much! The medicine I’m on knocks me out so I have been sleeping A LOT! That isn’t all bad except I think my wife is ready for me to start helping with the kids again!
Anyway, I have a backlog of articles that should start flowing out this weekend at the latest.
Thanks for coming by!
I’m interested in your thoughts on IBM’s Blade Center S. Do you like the idea of integrated storage or not?
Good Evening Scott - I really like the S Chassis and the integrated storage concept. I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on one to date but the software to carve up the storage and assign to the blades looks pretty nice. These days almost all of the Blades we are installing are hooking to some type of storage so the IBM S Chassis provides a nice “Data Center in a Box”. I like the HP Shorty Chassis as well (we have one of those in our lab), but I admit the integrated storage sets the S chassis apart for those customers that are looking for it.
As soon as I get back on my feet I plan to start an in depth analysis of the IBM and HP product lines. I will make sure I cover the S vs. HP’s Shorty in depth. If you have information you would like to see in particular, let me know.
Thanks for coming by!
