Dave,

Questions about these two switches:

Would they be just for QA's use, or generally implied simply by QA lab
storage additions?  Ie., are they shareable throughout the lab for
general SAN switchiness or should we be looking at additional SAN
switches for any other needs?

Are they 4 and/or 8 Gbps?

OK, I'll byte, what's a "Lab Management Blade"?

I'm still putting my list together.  I can cover these in my list, and
then we can converge them, or Brian can converge them.

Thanks for this,
