RE: system p announcement

Instead, I believe you are talking about a SAN
solution which significantly expands the complexity. At least for
those
shops like us that do not have a SAN for disk.

While you can run blades w/out a SAN (not talking i5 blades here), the
real benefit of blades comes when you do have a SAN. You've separated
the compute engine from the storage engine and you're free to
manage/upgrade/maintain them independently. Yes, I agree the i5 blade
will likely require a SAN, but I see that as a good thing, not a bad
thing.
