We are also looking at a big VDI project with new storage, servers for over 6500 clients.  Wow, they just shot themselves in the foot. We will need to move our RFP to HP or UCS, on the stuff that does not have to go to bid. Who else is out there that we could use?   I am not a real IBM fan but if you are going back to basics you'll probably want to include them in your evaluation.  HP is tried-and-true and Cisco has a very compelling offering with UCS.  Since you are looking at a new VDI project and require a storage upgrade, perhaps EMC can work some trade-up magic for you.  Don't throw the baby (EMC) out with the bathwater (Dell).  Dan
