But, yes, if it barks like a dog, runs like a dog and smells like a dog, then it is probably a dog. Actually, it reminds me a lot of the Bay Networks 5000 chassis, or the DEChub 900 backplane from a few years ago. I have the inklings for an article onn HP Virtual Connect.

My server guys got me on the line with some techs from HP to talk about it. The guys from HP were insistent that it wasn't a switch. "But it's behaving like a switch" was my argument, "It's just not managed like a switch." I finally got them to agree that "It's a switch that's been dumbed down so a server guy could understand it."

My server guys got me on the line with some techs from HP to talk about it. The guys from HP were insistent that it wasn’t a switch. “But it’s behaving like a switch” was my argument, “It’s just not managed like a switch.”

I finally got them to agree that “It’s a switch that’s been dumbed down so a server guy could understand it.”
