Yeah, my receipts :) For Dell, just go to their site and configure a PE 2950. It's not a 'Deal', it's their standard pricing.
I have news articles.... http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/03/14/dell-absorb-price -esx3i-hyper http://www.virtualization.info/2008/05/dell-offers-vmware-esxi-at-99-cit rix.html Ok, it's actually $99. But we all know Dell never sells anything at retail price. -----Original Message----- From: Tigran K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 11:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Server Colidation via VMWare do you have a link for the Dell or HP deal?
