As we wrap up this decade, I wanted to take the time to say thank you. While I created this blog to help me create a repository of blade server information, this blog has grown to provide (hopefully) valuable information to you. In reality, without you I wouldn’t have a reason to continue writing on this blog– so thank you! As you may know, this blog is my personal hobby. I do not seek nor receive outside funds to help with the costs, I do it for enjoyment. My biggest challenge continues to coming up with content that is not specific to one vendor. As we move into the new year, I hope you will reach out to me if you come up with ideas of blade server topics you’d like to see. Enough of this – let’s take a look at what was hot in 2019.
