I've used Dell, Compaq, and IBM and by far IBM and Compaq outshine Dell.
Dell has price and if that is all you look at great.  Have fun.  The
management features of IBM and Compaq are light years ahead of Dell.
Support from Compaq(HP) and IBM are much better also.

Subject: [THIN] OT: Dell and HP (Compaq) Servers

 
We are in the process of comparing hardware and would like to add some
testimonial to our comparison to justify one over the other.  What I am
looking for are *facts* based on personal experience with these two
platforms mainly in the areas of support and hardware issues.

If you want to limit it even more, I would like to know about the RAID
controller issues, which I have seen many come across for the DELL
servers
and would like to know if there have been resolution to the issues and
how
recent they have been.  If people have been having the same issues with
the
HP(Compaq) servers I would like that information as well.

We are currently an HP(Compaq) shop but evaluating our options between
Dell
and HP.  Not even looking at IBM for various reasons.

Again, I am looking for facts, not opinion...we are opinionated enough
already.  :-)
