I am interested mainly in 1U boxes. Reliability is the most crucial
factor because the machines will be deployed in remote places,
geographically distributed. I was thinking SSD disks to avoid mechanical
parts but DELL prices for them are obsurd I think.

Yes, clear. I think I will add R610 to the options. The only remaining
question is PERC H200 support. It is not mentioned in mfi(4), so should I
consider it unsupported?

In any case, if I happen to have access to needed hardware (e.g the
company buys some 12G Dell servers) I can arrange for remote access to a
dedicated machine for a period of time to interested developers.

Thanks,

Kostas
