We buy SuperMicro systems. They just seem to work. www.8anet.com www.serversdirect.com www.aberdeeninc.com
We are looking at moving to a Sun or IBM Blade solution also. The biggest advantage we see is the support, both companies have a full line of parts in stock about 2hrs away. When uptime is your business, it can make sense to pay for things like 24x7x365 4hr or less response time. If we were closer to the parts depot I would even go to 2hr response. This is just something you do not get when you buy parts from newegg.com. I cannot say enough for a redundant system either, hot standbys with automatic failover is critical. Like I said, uptime is your business, right?
