What makes this interesting is that this is not one-blade to one-user. One blade can support multiple employees: four or five at the low end and 12 to 15 on the high end. You can get a much higher density of users per blade than competing solutions.

He's was just so versatile. He's not a one dimensional player. He can do multiple things.

Typically, if you've got a single blade for a single desktop, those servers are going to be down two-thirds of the day after people head home -- and that represents a pretty significant infrastructure investment. IBM is making the pitch that if you can support the same number of desktops with one-eighth the number of servers, you're going to end up with much higher utilization of your IT infrastructure.

The employees' side has absolutely no cause to support a coup. We're not interested.

You can no longer raise money and support those people in Washington and say you're not one of them, ... It's like being half-pregnant. Either you're in or you're out.

We've opened it up to where they can work in multiple areas at one time. The only restriction we have is working on opposite sides (of the road) from each other.
