Our shipment of four brand new PowerEdge R805 servers arrived yesterday afternoon. We got them loaded up with Quad-Core AMD Opteron 2356 2.3 GHz processors, 64 GB of RAM, and a Quad-Port Intel NIC (in addition to the four onboard NICs). I just love opening up new servers, and I was pretty excited to open these up and get them in the rack—but not as excited as this.



Here is a picture of the new servers in our lab from this morning. I have also uploaded a few more pictures in the Photo Gallery that show the inside of the PowerEdge R805, the included VMware ESX Server 3i, and the servers installed in the rack.

The only thing left to do now is use VMotion to get some VMs onto these systems and put them to work.
