So I totally understand that its less power, but finding that hard to justify when the cost per port jumps to $300 more per port. With dual ports its going to take a long time to make that up in power savings. -- ><> nathan stratton | vp technology | broadsoft, inc | +1-240-404-6580 | www.broadsoft.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
