True, both have made huge strides in the hardware world to allow for blade repurposing, I/O, address, and storage naming portability, etc. However, in the software domain, each still relies on multiple individual products to accomplish tasks such as SW provisioning, HA/availability, VM management, load balancing, etc.

Thats essentially the idea behind the " Datacenter-in-a-Box :" Most common config uration: Blades + Networking + SAN Storage Most useful tools to manage VMs + physical servers + network + I/O + SW provisioning + workload automation + high availability Thats what Egeneras done with Dell.
