So far we’ve got some interesting comments, on the whole people would recommend blades to others, the survey shows that they are being used in different size sites. The most interesting comments we’ve had about issues experienced with blades are:

• Limited expansion
• Issues with management or support
• Cost

Remember negative comments are just as effective as positive ones. If we know what the issues are, we can discuss the way forward with the vendors and tell them what it is we need, whether it’s easier integration with our existing infrastructure, improved enclosure management or more lower cost blades for those low volume requirements.

Thanks again for your response, it’s appreciated, the survey ends sometime next week, at which point I’ll put up some graphs/results for all to see.
