Cost Comparison

[Mike Skomal]

I'm working on a cost comparison between a fully populate c-class enclosure and 16 like-configured DL380s. Anyone know how I can work in the $ savings between the two? I can't seem to find the power consumption data that I can relate to $ savings.

You might also want to factor in your switched port costs, KVM costs, cabling costs, etc... Rob

Break-even on power is about 7-8 servers, after this blades work out better. Phil.
