In reference to 2U rack hardware, budget but stable, what to buy?2U rack hardware, budget but stable, what to buy?
Plus many other similar questions, it has been noted that there's actually nothing in the SF FAQ about asking really localized questions like "What hardware should I buy", or "Which server software should i buy, and which vendor do you guys use".
All of these questions are fairly localized, but also quite useful. I mean, I've asked slightly broader questions about "which is better, iscsi or FCoE?".. which isn't quite the same thing..
It might also cut down on the amount of spam, I'm not aware whether there's any Dell or HP pre-sales engineers on the site, but if there were, I'd have expected someone to jump on that guy pretty quickly!
