Odd, I received 2 Simplivity servers for my office; I wasn't going to run 
the Simplivity hyperconverged stuff on it* so I updated the BIOS with the 
Dell BIOS and installed ESXi on it with no issues.


*I did some research into Simplivity, and it looked pretty good - it 
installed on 2 mirrored SD cards, did its own RAID, networking and VMs all 
in one box - oh, and hardware dedupe, if memory serves.

I'm going to be working with Nutanix boxes in a similar HC environment for 
my company's remote sites. They're going to eat VMWare's market share for 
lunch if VMWare loses focus on the small enterprise, which Broadcom pretty 
much committed to doing.
