totally cheating here

Google search will certainly reveal this one, but if you are looking into upgrading (or building) your server infrastructure and heard about the benefits of blades instead of standalone rack servers, then Blades Made Simple (TM) is one of the sites that will take a lot of the guesswork out of why choose blades (and WHICH blades to choose).

This week, they are celebrating their one year anniversary with a free giveway. What they are giving away is anyone's guess (I vote for a Cisco UCS packed with B230's maxed to the gills in RAM). At a minimum, those lucky few selected can expect a bag of m&m's to be sent to them gratis.

If I win the m&m's, I will give it to a worthy cause. If I win a UCS, I am keeping it to myself. Sorry, my charitable nature only takes me so far.

Oh, and technically, they are calling it a "Bloggiversary", but I can't seem to call it that. It's like when the smurfs would take arbitrary words and replace it with smurf to give it more smurfiness.

Congrats, Blades Made Simple (TM) on the one year, keep up the informative posts.
