yep, the same infrastructure,but new cards and new frequences to run them on, as "B"' is a new and improved "A" so its fully backward compatable and can run these old DS2.0a CM chipsets at their intended DS2 "A" spec fine, they are using DS1 only until they are moved over OC.

and to top it off the new DS2.0B UBR cards are the cheapest ever right now, their faster, and have more ports (the bit your CM connects to at the other end) per card for the same or lower price as the old DS2.0a cards had, so they get far better cost savings all round, so they have even less excuse to skimp on the reseging for lower shared UBR ratios so improving your protential bandwidth etc...

we wont see the cash savings OC but we might see over subbing reduced, and so improve the throughput seen..... we can hope anyway if they dont fritter away to savings to much elswere....... the executive cristmas bonuses are due this week i think though ......
