Basically, the feedback was, rather than two UCS C260s, I should get four UCS 240s. This was to provide maximum hardware/software redundancy and maximum performance.<br><br>While I understand the additional hardware/software redundancy, I'm not 100% convinced about the maximum performance. I mean we read through the requirements on the wiki, ensured we had the required CPUs for each application, and there was quite a bit of harddisk, cpu and memory to spare. I'd rather minimize the amount of time managing the hardware and also reduce costs as much as possible.<br><br>I understand the C240s are the new M3 specs, and the C260s are the older
M2 specs, but I'm guessing those too will be updated soon. <br><br>What sort of feedback are others getting who are investigating UC on UCS chasis servers?<br><br><br><span><br><span name="x"></span>---<br>Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A.<br>Senior Analyst (CCS) * University of Guelph * Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1<br>(519) 824-4120 x56354 (519) 767-1060 FAX (ANNU)<br>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<br>Cooking with unix is easy.
