We have hot swap power supplies in our Compaq's and I have had to replace
some of them but the servers never went down. I'd have to lose 2 on the
same server before the server went down and we keep some in house spares so
we stay up. But I am pretty much familiar with CPQ - I have done some
serious surgery on a few of them - I really want to know more about the
Dell servers.

Have never used Dell servers, only their workstations. Where I work now we
have several Compaq servers 3 1600s, a 6000, a newer ML530 and ML370 with a
couple of small Prosignia 200s. In the last three years we have replaced
better than half of the power supplies, some of them twice. One power
supply in a 200 just last week. Other components seem to be fine. At my
last gig, I had a fleet of HP Netservers. Other than losing ALL of the
2.1gb SCSI drives in a couple of servers over time, they ran fine. All
other drives were there for the long term.

I don't have any experience with Dell servers, but we've been running all
Compaq servers for almost 5 years now. I've never had to make a support
call
(knock on wood) on any of them. We've got 3 Compaq Proliant 1600R's, 1
Proliant 6000R, and one Proliant ML530.
Just out of curiosity, what is the price difference between Dell and Compaq
on like models?

The company has <almost> 100% Compaq servers. Now there is a
requirement to do a comparison between Compaq and Dell, probably because of
the cost difference. What experiences have you had with Dell -
reliability, support, upgrades etc? Anyone running them both in the same
network? I'm all familiar with Insight Manager etc and we even have a few
of the remote insight boards installed. Does Dell have equivalents?
How about doing things like firmware upgrades?
Thanks in advance for your time and help on this. If you have any docs
you want to send me, feel free to email it directly to me.
Thanks - DR
