Those look like fairly old blades and a couple of older 2Us? Looking at those, it seems like you're probably not using much in the way of proc/mem resources. You should really look at those x3850s or the x4450. I wonder if you could load up 2-3 of them and get rid of the current stuff you're running. You also don't have to pay for VMWare (which I'm sure you know) as they offer a freeware version. It's not too robust though, so you might want to evaluate going with the full version if you're looking for reliability and ease of use, etc.

double-edit: Another cool thing about VMware (this may be ture on the freeware too..) is that you can build out a server, save your preferences as an image, then when you go to deploy a new server, you just click that one and VMWare deploys it and sets it up for you in minutes. It's fairly sexy.

Well, damn, son, check out the 3850s. Not sure about costs of colo, but with colo you lose a lot of control over your hardware/systems, but you gain the ability to kill people if they **** up your stuff
