UCS is DOA?

Okay, the headline is hyperbole, but it can't be a good sign when you spent millions buying a part of VMware, you announce a galactic data center virtualization marketecture based on VMware, and the VMware users generally don't get it. Alex Barnett has an article at SearchServerVirtualization.com titled "VMware users cast wary eye on Cisco UCS."

The money quote:

When VMware shops look at UCS, they see a platform that exceeds the needs of mainstream IT departments, relies on unproven technologies, requires substantial new investment, and forces dramatic change in the way IT shops purchase and manage their infrastructure.

That can't be good.
