Thoughts?

Grant.
Well there's no mention of what the server OS will be, I'm assuming something like Windows server since a lot of the stuff they run is bespoke Windows stuff (although they do run some terminal based stuff, presumably a legacy mainframe of some sort).

I guess as it mentions, it'll offer a power saving. I'm wondering though if there will be a server at each site or if it will all be centralised (in which case, I'm sure they're going to need a reasonable connection to the data centre).
