I inherited a couple of Simplivity servers at work based on the 720xd -
they had a boot flash drive with Simplivity on it and a custom BIOS.
Flashed the BIOS with a Dell BIOS and put ESXi on them. They were
monsters - 384 GB of RAM, I don't recall how many cores on 2 CPUs, and
12TB of RAID 10.

I should have asked to take home the R610 or R420s that they replaced,
but I had nowhere to put them.   :(
