Just an FYI:
I am running a Compaq Proliant ML350. I love it. VERY stable. I opted not to
go hot-plug. Not that critical and saved a few hundred dollars. My
experience with Dell is Good Workstations (like a clone really) Fair to Poor
Servers (like a clone really). I am not a Compaq advocate, though I am
leaning that way on the server side. They good management and monitoring
tools. I am running WinNT 4.0, IIS 4.0, SQL Server 7.0, CF 4.51ish,
ActivePerl and Pegasus mail server (for MAPI stuff) some other stuff. I use
Veritas BackupExec 8.0 and a DLT 12/24 (moving to AIT II 25/50 mb). The site
gets about 500,000 sessions per month. It serves general web content and
also hosts some of our other systems. Hope this helps.
