Smooth VDI performance, but PSU bug caused unexpected downtime

We use 2 MX7000 chassis for our university's VDI, supporting 520 Dell thin clients. The modular design was perfect swapping blades without rewiring saved us a ton of time during hardware upgrades this year. Fabric management is centralized and clean; once set up, the chassis pretty much runs itself. For a public university with a small IT team, that simplicity is way more important than any benchmark.

The vast amount of information provided under multiple layers can make it difficult to find what you want. In my experience, OpenManage seems to prefer Internet Explorer over other browsers - I would prefer using a different browser. While alerting can be configured it often does not function as anticipated; for example, it alerts after a drive has failed but not when issues were first detected and logged.
