I work for a large private company based in Philadelphia, PA.

I have been using Dell Servers since about '97 when we got our first PowerEdge 4200. Since then we have gone through a bunch of server buys including 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th and recently a few 10th gen servers... I'm sure some 11th gen servers will be in here early 2009 (I'm looking forward to the R710). Yes! as of March 2010, we have several R710's and a few R610's running as vSphere ESXi hosts and Windows 2008 DC's...

We have a VMWare ESX 3.5 cluster running on (2) R900 connected to an iSCSI MD3000i with a MD1000 and a separate cluster of (6) R710's on vSphere to another MD3000i. Also have three more R900's same config for some DEV/QA systems... We also have ESXi on Dell PE2950's and R710's a few different remote sites for hosting a few vm's on each host to provide file access and a separate VM for an AD Domain Controller.

Other recent projects have included figuring out how to Ghost a Citrix 4.5 server for use on other PE 1850's and creating Ghost images for the Windows 2003 x64 server on different platforms.

I have worked with Slipstreaming, Imaging, Clustering, Fiber Channel, Server Hardware/Software Updates, & Troubleshooting various combinations of the above. Over the past 6 months I have been involved in our upgrade project from old F5 BIG-IP's tothe new v.10 LTM-1600's.
