@ayecee the ROI is theoretical, not actual. The savings will be in our landlord's power bill, not our own pocket. Perhaps if we could document this power reduction, we could use that information in rent negotiations?
@ayecee, @Daniel, with a blade center, we would have iLo management and BladeCenter management interfaces available for remotely doing operations like putting ISO files into virtual-DVD drives, pressing power buttons, changing switching fabric, etc... The blade center systems are designed to only ever require human onsite presence for initial setup, replacing failed (redundant) hardware, upgrades, or decommissioning.
