Looking forward to the reference architecture docs. I am already well on my way to building my own Vblock1 with CX4 already in house and UCS, 1000v & MDS about to be ordered. Puts us in position to look at being able to offer cloud type options to our customers down the road.

Yeah, I agree with you. Large scale infrastructure shops will see the most change and benefit from vBlock.

But I think it is the private enterprise data center that may be looking to move some (certainly not all) of their computing to those larger providers. It's all about reducing CapEx and OpEx. And, unless I'm misunderstanding something (yes, it happens often), it may end up on a vBlock. And that may be how my datacenter changes....

Let's compare notes in 6-12 months!

I think the private enterprise data center won't change much. VI as we know it today will be the primary architecture. Those companies that truly need large scale cloud infrastructure will have the most significant change and benefit from vBlock arcitecture.

Heck, I'm not too sure. Ask me again in 6 months when it changes again!

“Now what!?” is the same reaction that I had….

But, thanks to virtualization my datacenter does not resemble what it did a year ago! The question is, what will that same datacenter look like a year from now!?

Just when you think you've figured it out…think again.
