They know the servers are coming and they're asking about the servers and how we plan to support them. I guess my point is I think the Goldman report sounds a bit too conservative. We think all of our customers will try and eventually buy into UCS over the next two or three years. They'll start small but they will most definitely start. Cisco is normally considered a high priced vendor but if you look at the scalability/price/performance of UCS I think Cisco has build a compelling argument for its architecture.

The VAR Guy mentioned them briefly (the C-Series Rack Mount Servers) in the post above. Our resident blogger may add some more server thoughts later today.
