Quick question re: UCS, do you have to use remote storage or can you use 
local storage?

Depends on your discount, whether you purchase bare-metal from Cisco or 
direct from HP/IBM, etc.  You've also got to factor in VMware costs plus 
added operational complexity for UCS.  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)

That said, I'm a huge proponent of deploying on UCS, b or c-series as 
appropriate.  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.

The C Class UCS server is cheaper than the bare metal box.

Ah - well, supported and sold are two different things I guess.

The supported platforms will help if you have the platforms already, but 
not if you are looking to buy new. I do recall quite a few of them being 
EOL'ed, especially the H series, but you'd have to check the price list 
and your account team for availability.

There is always the SWONLY option (which is much cheaper). As far as I 
know, they are MCS equivalents so they are supported.

I'm getting conflicting information from someone at Cisco is all.
They told me they aren't selling MCS servers any longer.
