So I migrated my Orion server to an HP Blade server running on an HP C-Class enclosure with 4G of RAM. This box should be a power house compared to my old VM server. Except now I am plagued with packet loss pages. I know for a fact there is no packet loss going on to these devices. The problem seems to be that pings from the server (and any server in this enclosure for that matter) often come back with weird values that I am assuming Orion is interpreting as packet loss. Pings will be sailing along at 1ms and suddenly I will get a page full of -4 or -5 ms. Then my average at the end is some weird high number like 14708788ms. See below...

This is really messing with my data. Has anyone else seen this happen? Anyone else using HP Blade enclosures? I will probably have to call HP but I wanted to put the question out here as well.
Thanks.
