Thought I would pass this great post on to others who might not have been following the developments at VMworld this week:

I really like it as the finger pointing is something I have experienced, that and the LAN team cringing at the though of giving up trunk ports, etc into an environment they have no control/insight into... now we don't have to have that problem in the near future.

And it runs NX-OS. Cool.
