Dell power edge servers recommended?
 

HI,

Does Dell power edge servers recommended? seems like price are very affordable. If you can recommend let me know. We are looking to buy 2-4 servers for our school.

I have been told Dell power edge are very good and I am planning on getting some myself.

I have also found Dell to a reasonably reliabe make in general.

They are reliable; however, we have found that their servers are picky on upgrade options purchased from other vendors.

We are using Dell Poweredge on our Web servers, they are pretty neat.. Didn't have any problem related hardware so far.. (since we buy)

We are using dell as a cheaper option to compaq's and so for so good.
I'm taking delivery of one for myself tomorrow so i'll let you know how i get on.

we have recently ordered a poweredge SC 1425 and are really pleased with it.

The only thig that I found stupid is that the options on their website are really priced too high. (100€ for an extra 80 go sata drive.. ) But you can always add what you want later.

We have just purchased a few and are quite pleased with them..

It isn't just that it's picky. You might void the Dell warranty by installing non Dell parts in the system, or replace existing ones with non Dell parts.

Their servers are very good, I would stick with their parts, and use the financing plans if you need to get a high end server that's over your budget. Their financial advisers are pretty nice and helpful with that.

Hi Macross,

What server series are reliable from Dell. Can you recommend some thing you are using now?

Thank You
Jones

We got a shipment of Dell 1850's in and I have been pleased so far. They are high quality machines and have been doing quite well. Other than the issues I had with initially purchasing the machines I ended up getting a great deal.
