    Smooth VDI performance, but PSU bug caused unexpected downtime

    So, two MX7000 chassis running our VDI backbone were great until a power outage revealed a PSU recognition bug we didn't expect.

PowerEdge Blades Likes & Dislikes

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.
