There is always the DL380s... Or Dell 1650s.

True,=20
But when you got Lives on the line, as in a hospital environment, you
tend to be in a Zero tolerance for failure mode.=20
HOnestly, I gotta agree, with you on the Compaq Servers, they are very
stable, run excellent, and easy as hell to set up, and their uptime is
almost 100% (Hardware issues only). Now it always depends on the
wondering application software you use on the server, but Win2k Server
and Compaq DL380G2, have not let me down yet.=20

Hey, stuff happens. Nothing is perfect. Think if your work was judged
the in the same manner you are judging the DL360. If the same standards
were used (zero tolerance for failure) then you would probably be out of
a job. Even with the bad power supplies (which are now fixed) they are
still great servers. They are still my server of choice for the level
of flexibility they offer. I haven't had any power supply failures once
they have been replaced. Compared to any of the Dell, HP, or IBM
servers, the Compaq servers rock. With exception to the power supply
failures on the DL360s, I've had zero problems with my any of my Compaq
servers. With the redundancy that I have built in thanks to the
inexpensive DL360s, the impact from the power supply failures has been
minimal. The DL360s have still achieve 99% uptime even with the faulty
power supplies at a fraction of the cost of big servers.

Yep,=3D20
I have had 5 at my site go bad also, I think there was a previous thread
=3D on this, I never trusted the Pizza boxes that much anyways, and the
Compaq Folks was in my datacenter getting serial numbers for the units
that =3D haven't failed yet, to get the fix for em.=3D20

Wow!! That is hilarious!! Its funny because I understand your pain--we
have about 10 of those bad boys and have had to replace the power =3D
supplies on all but 1 or 2. Compaq has a Service Advisory about these
being defective in a portion of the 360's, but the kicker is they won't
=3D replace the power supply until it goes bad--so basically you have to
wait until =3D your server dies!! =3D20
Thanks,

For those that remember the threads a few weeks ago about DL360s...=3D20
I had purchased 3 of them almost a year ago. They sat humming quietly =
=3D
along in my datacenter. I never had a problem. Until this morning. I
came =3D in to find one down. Tried to boot it, and it said the power
supply was bad. Thankfully I keep a spare. Replaced it, rebooted, all
was good. As it =3D was coming up, a second one suddenly powered down. =
I
said "hmmm...." and =3D tried to power it back up. Bad power supply! I
pulled one of my test 360s =3D and yanked the power supply from it, and
got that one rebooting. As it was coming up... you guessed it, the 3rd
died. I swear, it was so funny I =3D had to laugh. They actually died =
in
the same order they had been activated =3D in, one right after the =
other.
I felt like I was on Bloopers or something! =3D The third, sadly, is =
down
until I can get a replacement power supply. Gah!
