<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black"><br>
I've been asked to produce a short report, comparing the resources and support options of Cisco UCS vs Spec's based solution, i.e. an existing infrastructure.<br>
<br>
There is a lot of information out there that I will be using, but I'm also interested in hearing from others who have produced a similar report.
<br>
<br>
Also, if others are willing to share support issues that have cropped up which you had difficulty dealing with, that would be great too. I'd like to be able to include some real world examples.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Lelio<br>
