You can get used off lease servers for pennies on the dollar. You can get a 2
socket 12 core 24 thread Xeon machine with 128 Gb of ram and SAS drives for
under $800 CDN. All from NOC environments so if you put them back into a good
environment they will run for years.
Don't bother with blades. You won't need that until you get really big. Go
Dell, HP or Supermicro. I've used them all for many years. They are built
well and last long. Supermicro is the cheapest by far but surprisingly well
built and supported.

Subject: [AFMUG] servers
I need to put in some servers. I want to go durable. Last a long time.
Thinking blade servers.
Email, DNS etc, Perhaps in the future DHCP. Other things an ISP uses.
Suggestions? I like the idea of hot swap etc. I realize VM and Hyper V, all
kinds of virtualization makes life easy.
But irrespective, I want bare metal reliability.
Then perhaps NAS/SAN on top of it.
