This is a great comparison for traditional blade server solutions. While IBM clearly has more hardware flexibility and options, Cisco is definitely betting that virtualization is the future, and the UCS's management single pain of glass (UCSM) of HBAs, NICs, and other bladecenter "personality" will be attractive enough to win over customers. No doubt UCS was built for vSphere on FCoE, and it's future looks "cloudy" ;). Kevin,
