We are planning to purchase a database server. Which one is better, HP PROLIANT ML 370 TO3 (G3) or IBM eSERVER x 235 XEON? Thanks in advance!
 
Better in which respect? The very best server is an IBM iSeries eServer.

It may be just an opinion but it is MY opinion.
 
As a DB server you should look at disk I/O speed, so a comparison of the RAID controllers and Disk drives should be a good starting point to determine the better server for your needs.

Other factors may also play a role, like max RAM, bus speeds, etc.

Good luck deciding. IBM Certified Confused - MQSeries
