Well, explain to the bean counters that they're costs for you and your team are going to skyrocket when you're doing 2x the amount of work to support/research & spec HP and Dell equipment, stocking 2x the amount of spare parts, etc.
Frankly, I think Dell servers don't compare to HP when its all said and done and you look at the way they're built, the tools they come with, the features they offer, etc. Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] c - 312.731.3132 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nathan Casey Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 4:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: HP vs Dell servers Sorry for the off topic question. We are currently an all HP shop. The accountants in management now want us to justify why we don't switch to Dell servers. I have looked around the web including Gartner but can't find any good Dell vs HP comparison/benchmark testing. Does anyone have any good material that discusses why HP over Dell servers or vise versa.
