As part of the Dell/EMC partnership
which ran from 2001 to 2011 – there exist CX600's with Dell's nicer
looking bezel on, apart from that they are the same beast. The last
supported release of VMware for the CX600 was ESX 3.0.3 U1 (just
because it's not supported though, doesn't mean it won't work!)
