This was an accident, they meant to buy 2 blades for more SAN ports and they ordered the wrong parts.
They did this with a few database servers as well, they were supposed to order 8 core processors, but they ordered 10 core instead (it was a typo), they had 4 processors per machine it was a $40k extra mess not including the extra Oracle licenses needed to buy since Oracle licenses by cores (8 extra cores per machine and 3 machines).
But i do understand the spend it or lose it, which is another reason no one tries to be efficient.
