Yeah I was going to mention that. When it comes down to remodeling the
building or buying blades, then blades are a clear winner.

We utilize a combination of blade systems and 1U/2U servers …. Wouldn’t
say blade systems are going away. Basically the biggest sell point for
them is space/power (footprint). If space/power is at a premium (ie.
3rd party data center) and you need to put many servers into it then it
can make sense …. In our case this is exactly why we continue to deploy
Cisco ACS blade systems in particular – they work well and footprint is
small.
In areas where we have abundant space/power then 1U servers are
preferred

Servers for what?
Blades are kind of a thing of the past, I think. It's way easier and
cheaper to do something like HA with ESXi.

I need a pair of servers, prefer DC powered but not absolutely stuck
on that. Like to have nice blade server system with hot standby etc.
Been some time since I spec’d out servers.
Any suggestions?
