We run DL380 G4 and G3.  Never had any problems that I haven't had with
other brands (IBM, Dell, etc).    I try to avoid the 1U systems because
they tend to flex a little.  I'm guessing HP shaved a little too much metal
off the case.    The DLxx5 line (AMD chips) is very attractive from a
price/performance ratio.  Also, HP finally closed the gap on
manageability/redundancy features.  When HP first rolled out the AMD line,
the Intel line had better "enterprise" caliber features.

i have always preferred IBM servers.  My last job was an all IBM shop and I
really liked the IBM gear and their support which i needed little of.  My
current job is an all HP shop.  Personally, all it has done in convince me
how much better IBM servers are.  But I am not trying to open up that
debate again.  We're an HP shop and that won't be changing anytime soon.

I am trying to put together some specs for some new citrix servers.  We
currently have DL380 G3 servers for Citrix. They seem a little overkill for
Citrix.  I would like something a little leaner.  The DL360 G4 looks to fit
the bill but I am told the DL360 has always been problematic and that they
are still plagued with problems due to inefficient cooling.  I am told the
DL385 is the way to go for Citrix.

Have any of you HP guys have any input on this?  What HP servers are you
currently using for Citrix.  I am looking at a small three server extension
to my current farm for about 100 users at most.

Thanks!

Greg
