My work (yes, I’m now employed) is looking at deploying servers to client sites. They aren’t so much servers as appliances. The boxes serve a distinct function, and not much else.
Our hardware needs:
- between 2TB and 8TB of storage in a RAID configuration
- 1U or 2U case
- good reputation
Our hardware support needs:
- reliable 24/7 support that we can call in case of hardware problems
- techs that go on-site to fix the problem (e.g. replace HDD)
- good reputation
-
We have worked with IBM and like that solution. But are willing to consider others. Who do you use?
