Switching from Dell PE to ...

[1Drisnil]

Has anyone moved away from Dell PowerEdge servers to another company? If you have, why did you/your shop change vendors? Who did you choose over Dell ?

Inquiring Minds,

Social engineering, coupled with greed, is the easiest way to subvert any security!

We all uses Dell, they used to have the best service, now its getting worse, I suppose its the quality of support, you invested on a server you want to be able to use it

other more pricy lines like HP/Compaq they are nice but they are some what more expensive than Dell, I believe they do have better feature than Dell cuz they were in the business longer than Dell

Gateway is trying to get to the market, but not having success I think

Still use Dell for low end servers but I have had more than a few problems with Dell in the last 2 years, mostly related to power/backplane problems, couple related to raid card firmware. Power related issues can be a real nightmare for a Consultant.

For high end raid servers, primarily I build them myself from Supermicro, LSI logic, Seagate components. Cost is 30-50% less than OEM manufacturers, but I also have control of the components used, part are non proprietary for the most part . Down side, should a hardware problem arise, I take all the flack; so far I had no problem with the servers I assembled. The most stabile component I have used. Aberdeen computer has a line of Supermicro servers.
