Advantages: Cost, Service, Accesibility (Internet access) Disadvantages: Location of server house (Stratford, London)
My clans server has been colocated with them for the last 3 years. Set up was straightforward, they supplied IP details and settings which I then preset before taking the server to their server house. They CAN set it up from scratch for you, but WILL charge to do so. I met one of their engineers there and within a few minutes the server was up and running.Since then in the 3 years its been with them, its 'downtime' has been restricted to 1 day, for which I received a week of credit. Reason for downtime was given as a DOS (denial of service) attack on the server house. We were credited with a weeks use for that.Others have offered service but none could match them in terms of connection,cost and availability.

Advantages: Reliable, powerful, robust Disadvantages: Im yet to find one. Maybe the hidden costs in addtional items.
While we have tinkered with vitualisation in the office, we now have a definitive path forward and needed a robust,reliable new server that had maximised uptime and ease of remote management.
Therefore we have opted for a DL380 G5 and we have not been disappointed!
Read on for more details of this great server and how it become such an important part of our setup.
LOOKS/SIZE.
The DL380 is really designed to slot into a server cabinet or rack and therefore comes in the standard 2U height configuration. It takes up minimal space in the rack while maximising the the performance.
Weight is extremely heavy. It takes 2 of you to pick it up and even install the rail mounting kit (sold separately) that you use to slide it into the rack. What I do like about the mounts on this server is it gives you the option to add 2 extra bolts ...
Advantages: Simple, Effective, cheap Disadvantages: None as far as I can see
I bought one of these a while ago and have been quite impressed overall. I must agree with the lady reviewer that this device is very useful and also quite easy to use.
It does accept two printers via USB and it can connect to your network via either wireless or wired networking. It supports WEP security on your network and seems to have goos signal strength attached to it. As you would expect from Belkin the device is well made and the manual makes a lot of sense.
Be aware however that not all printers are supported by the system, I had some trouble getting firmware updates to allow for my Laser printer to work on it - however Belkin have provided these on their website.
The device asks that you have the printer drivers already installed on your PC when you install the Belkin software, this isn't like normal print server ...
