Cisco AXP Developer Contest

I should've posted this earlier, but I am one of the ten finalist in the Cisco AXP Developer Contest http://www.cisco.com/web/solutions/axpdev/index.html.

Team SNAT is my team (I am the only member).  I am very surprised by the fact that I got in as a finalist because of the number of entries (over 900).  This is the primary reason I am reconfiguring the lab.  In order to get the development working, I need to not only have the network lab enabled and running, but also have a VM environment simulating the AXP.

So far, I have the lab up and running, but no VM environment yet.  I plan on getting the VMware server running on my laptop since I currently only have a single server for the lab.  If that does not work well enough, I may just end up buying another server to act as my VMware host.  I just need to find one that supports more than 8 GB of RAM (so I can do a full Microsoft environment for the OCS as well).
