Poll: What's your server vendor of choice?

[iaind]

As above really! Its rare to mix and match, so which server vendor do you use and why?

Me - Sun, because they are the only vendor that I'm aware of that does a 2U quad socket server for a dual socket price, brilliant for VMWare.

Was wondering when someone else would say Sun, thought I might have been the only one! You're right though, they get into 1U what other vendors need 2U to do and they get into 2U what others need 4U for!
The X4440s I've got were priced like DL380s but specced like DL580s, win win

Interesting to see the distinct lack of support for IBM kit - what's that all about? I always rated it much the same as HP

I was incredibly impressed with Sun's support today.

With my new iSCSI SAN, you can register your Sun account so any faults are logged directly with them.

I made a minor configuration mistake (setting the path on the host to the non preferred controller for the array) and 20 mins later I got a phone call from them asking if I needed any assistance
