Got the emails with prices etc.thanks, and you get a whole lot of machine for doing virtualisation. We were talking about the ridiculous amount of Ram you can get (48Gb for the 2900 III and 96Gb for the T610). When I was at Uni the main VAX cluster mainframe has 96Mb of ram and served hundreds of people. I'll have to post some of the details of what my boss has done testing but won't be able to do that for a few days as we have just put in a new phone system and everything is up in the air here.
