Being a .edu, we were big fans of Sun hardware - with the various (large) .edu discounts they had, we have ended up with a huge collection of Sun models across the past few years, 2200, 2250, 4100, 4150, 4170, and tons more. We've been pleased with all of 'em.
But yes, sadly the recent events with Oracle have, among other things, totally wiped out the discounts we enjoyed so much. The past year we've been purchasing Dell poweredge servers - lots of R710's, but also many of the other PowerEdge models. The drac6 management modules work well for me. The perc controllers do raid nicely. When we've had to contact Dell for service, they've been responsive. I am sure you'll find tons of other recommendations here too. For us, Dell gets a thumbs-up vote. It's too bad, Oracle obviously gives a rip about clients like us. --kent _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
