Another vote for Compaq/now HP servers. I've used all brands over the
years, but I like the Proliant series the most out of any I've used. Best
server product line available in my humble opinion.

I have to concur; I have used IBM, HP, Compaq for years. I just recently
started with a company that uses Dell and it has been a huge disappointment.
Dell service is terrible, including the fact often they can't tell me what
parts I need to order to upgrade (because they don't know what was
originally shipped). I have gotten different answers on processor upgrades
depending on who I spoke with. Lastly their management software is not to
the same standard as Compaq/HP.
If you have the option skip Dell.

The only negative thing I hear these days is that Dell's support sucks. The
last several customers I have visited have told be they will never by Dell
again.

I really dont think any brand offers anything the next one does'nt.
Its more important to think "big picture", and have one brand/supplier to
ease what management software you have to learn/monitor, have one support
organization to call when needed and so on. Having 9 different brands
depending on whats hot when you bought it will never pay off.
I have use IBM for all hardware, but i cant figure out any technical reason
to use them over HP or Dell. Same shit, different wrapping.

Emne: [THIN] (OT)Advice to buy new server
Hi all,
I'm looking for a new server to run separated applications from our farm,
such a Compleo, label printing software and also print server and others...
Our servers in the farm are Proliant in a rack system.
We're happy with them, but the new server I don't need to integrate in a
rack...
Could you pls. give to me any models that you are happy and have a good
performance to do this tasks?
Such as Xseries or Hp/compaq servers...
Thanks a lot.
