Lou, I have no problem with you reposting. I don't have a blog anywhere, I though about it but don't know where to start one. I have been working with Sun Rays for over 6 years. We are also pushing the Virtual archutecture as hard as we can. I read your blogs on the esx and VM. I see you have also build ESX on the 4100, I did a several pilots on loaded V40Z and 4100's. We are also planning on a large data center consolidation. I will forward you some of our sizing results.
