@GeoffreyHuntley Wow, sorry for the delay Geoffrey, been busy the last month. Short answer is yes, I use them every single day! I really don't see a reason to upgrade, so if I had the choice between a cheaper (or used) 8D or something newer, i'd still pick it every time.

There are a few common questions that this article clears up.
vIDM is only supported in active/passive mode, and the vIDM appliances should be placed in the DMZ. https://t.co/rsb1Sns9lA

@RobHandsome_ I wrote a design for a customer with multiple DCs & thousands of servers, all UCS. At a large scale the UCS platform manageability makes it one of my favourites.

I spend most of my days in my lab. I couldn't work without it. 3k is a cheap investment in building my career :)

@sniperpenguin The SuperMicros run on 60w power supplies. The power bill isn't affected.
The UCS chassis has 4x 2500w power supplies for 8 blades. Hopefully I can limit the power impact by only connecting a couple of the power supplies 🤞
