Jeff, you said "...everything about Dell servers pales in comparison to
HP and IBM". I simply want to know why. If you can't expound on your
statements then we'll take them for what they're worth and move on. If
it's merely an opinion, then say so and don't present it as fact.
Rusty's original post was about Dell 1885 blades. You didn't even answer
his question, but immediately slammed Dell and its entire server line.
It's obvious that YOU are the one that has strong feelings about Dell.
Maybe Rusty isn't interested in lights out or being the first on the
block to run AMD procs in his NOC. Does that mean that mean that he
still shouldn't look at Dell? 

 

Look, you are an enormous asset to this list and your opinion probably
carries much weight for many readers. That may be even more reason for
you to be sure to distinguish between fact and opinion.

 

As for this thread being about me: We are mixed Dell/HP. Our last server
purchase was HP servers. I have no loyalty either way and I was never
offended. All I'm doing is calling a spade a spade.

Yes it does because Dell will ALWAYS be behind the other two.  How long
have they had to develop a Management product for their servers and it
still stinks?  Come one, 7, 8 years or more?  they can't do better than
open manage?  Still requiring VNC to be installed to remote the server?
hardly a  lights out solution. 

 

I don't know how anyone has offended you but you obviously feel very
strongly in Dell.  Great have fun with them but don't take this thread
like it's a personal discussion about you.
