Yesterday I received a new toy for my home lab: An IBM BladeCenter E Two weeks ago I auctioned two IBM JS21 power blades for very little money, because a rack based IBM Power4 oder Power5 server is incredible expensive.

Sunday morning I read an interesting article about a VMware installation based on HP BladeSystem with Virtual Connect Flex-10 modules. The article contained lots of screenshots and I saw serveral changes within Virtual Connect Manager. So I decided to upgrade the firmware of my entire HP BladeSystem including the blade servers and interconnect modules. The update […]
Today I have made a very interesting experience. I arrived the office in the morning and our sales man wrote me a mail to change a HP BladeSystem offer for a customer.

Geiles Teil ! Ich hab dieses System […]
