Mazdaowner Moderator June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 Oracle maintenance fee is killer Go for their maintenance contract. My side run their blade servers, the noise is a killer, just like in a airplane, only louder. Personally, proprietary, you can only get what's needed from their agent here, no one else deals with their spares. If you ask me, well, reliability as good as a HP Proliant.... if you know what I mean. 10-12 servers on one blade rack, 4HDDs one server. Two words. FARKING NOISY! Plus point, well, if you wanna call it plus, is expandability without the space, by the time you wanna expend, hahahaha.. might be EOL for that model.

Oh, also on the heat issue, if your aircon break down or some clown turns it off by accident, the whole room where the servers are kept becomes a sauna in no time flat! No joking, windows also got steam hor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
