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
