I don't know if you will get exact comparisons as their models are slightly
different. If you are researching this, it may pay off to check both
websites and compare models that you feel are similar. I do know that I
have worked with both Compaq and Dell and have liked both. I have about 10
Dell servers that in the almost 2 years we have had them, I have had 1 hard
drive fail - that is it. We have 1 Compaq server that just quietly humms
along never complaining about anything.

I didnt do the cost comparison personally, but one of our people said it's
about half. We currently have a total of about 120 servers, but a lot of
them are getting pretty old and we are going to budget to replace them as
part of the Win2k conversion. I still have to do an evaluation per
server according to how many users it serves to set a size and cost for
each.

Please respond to "NT

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
