[c-nsp] Cisco Nexus and HP Flexfabric

[Pablo Espinosa]

Actually, I mis-spoke on the HP Flexfabric question.

I've been asked to consider the HP Flexfabric product OR the
integrated Cisco Nexus 2K within an HP Blade server....If anyone has
deployed either solution, I would love some feedback

thanks
