I have used Supermicro servers in my previous work and they give excellent quality for their money. They have been considered a bit "cheap" quality wise in the past, but the current models are pretty good. They offer all standard stuff like remote control cards (IPMI), dual power supplies (if you w

Let me speak from my heart. I maintenance 200+TB Cassandra cluster. The problem is money. If your IT people have a $$$ they can deploy Cassandra on super robust hardware with triple power supply of course. But why then you need Cassandra? Only for scalability? The idea of high available cluster
