That said, ongoing operational costs (eg; smartnet) are much lower for UCS than for bare-metal servers (and on-par with direct manufacturer support for HP/IBM hardware)

Of the 20-30 designs I've put together for customers over the past 12-18 months (ranging from <500 phones to 10K+ phones and 1K+ UCCE agents) that actually became deployed projects, all but 1 are deployed on UCS with an exception for a customer that has a rigorous hardware qualification process and won't qualify UCS for use in their data centers.
