Do you have a network boot disk for the dell 2650 poweredge servers?

support staff that services our current hardware,
so that is one of the differences between HP and Dell. Not that it's a big
difference, but it will be noted. It does give us an easy escalation path
within HP when we aren't getting support. Perhaps it's just the area we are
in (Portland, Oregon).

Thanks for all the responses.

Dell out sources their onsite just like everyone else does. Most of my
contracts go through QualXServ or Unisys. No one really has their own
trained monkeys that work exclusively for IBM, HP, or Dell directly.
Maybe for some really upper level software support for software made by
that company, but certainly not going to be that way for hardware.

I don't know about the off site support, but in the Flint area of
Michigan the same guy is the on site support for Dell, IBM and HP /
Compaq.
I had him come in for our Dell server (fan filled with dust and stopped
working) the next month I called IBM and he showed up for that call
also.
Hope this helps

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.

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. :-)
