HP vs Dell servers

[Kaka]

Hello all,

What are people's experience with Dell server equipment and their support? I will be sourcing 3 new hosts soon with the intention of sticking with HP. I had not considered anything else really. My supplier however has just got back to me with an equivalent Dell comparison and there is quite a significant saving.

HP will be DL380 Gen10.
Dell will be PowerEdge R740.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Thanks for all the input guys, sounds quite promising as I would have dismissed the Dell option otherwise.

The iDRAC stuff is one of the areas our network guy has not had that much experience in and wanted to see how well it worked compared to iLO.

Thanks for all the feedback.

I'll most likely be going the Dell route, as it's coming in just over 30% cheaper than the HPE option!
