doesn't need this unless that business is a small hosting company then it's too small. Jebus, the giants are really into not knowing what the little guy needs aren't they, rub it in, you don't even need a real server, much less this entry level trash with it's four quadcore boards and it's built in control board, 14 terabyte drives, and room to add more, I have more than this at home, losers. I know I may be overstating this but is this a small business purchase really.

I deal with a few small organisations with less than 50 members. They typically don't even want to pay a full time IT person, never mind want to buy a blade server. Some don't have racks, much less care about server density.

Unless this is the less than 1,000 employees small business beloved of totally out of touch corporate types.
