Networking
Networking: Network adapter - PCI - integrated

Advantages: Slimline, only takes a few U's in the Rack. very reliable. Disadvantages: The new HP Smartstart is not as easy to understand as the original version.
...For those of you who aren't aware HP have taken over Compaq and rebadged compaq Servers with the HP badge.
This is just an upgrade to the Compaq Proliant DL380 G2.
You are still getting one of the most reliable servers in the industry for the right price.
They have also rectified the problem on the last model where there was only 4 bays for hard disks , there are now 6 bays, a FDD and a CD drive.
The server is a slimline model and for those of you who rack their servers, this is ideal as it only takes a few U in the rack.
I have built several of these without any real problems and all have been stable once built.
The only critisimn I can make is that Smartstart, a compaq utility to assist you in building these servers, has been rebadged, HP smartstart and given an overall and so far im not impressed, the screens don't flow...

Advantages: Solid, reliable and robust Disadvantages: none
...This product is a workhorse...
It is an extremely reliable server and is very robust. This is a server we use and is dedicated to working as a worldwide gateway to the corporate network and allows seamless transactions to take place. HP is a name that people can trust and this server will not disappoint the consumer. You get a lot of value for your money and you in turn get a very well made piece of kit that will serve you for many years. Whatever configuration you choose, you will be adding a solid member to your network. HP backup is also second to none should you need to use it and initial setup is easy even for the not so experienced techie to set up....

Advantages: The managability of Proliants is second to none Disadvantages: Accountants will try to make you buy cheaper
...I have worked with servers for 6 years now and have never found any manufacturer of servers the comes close to the HP/Compaq Proliant range. What sets Proliants apart from the rest of the field is the managability tools that HP provide.
The DL740 comes from the density optimized line, this means that there are some sacrafices that are made to package the server smaller. DL servers don't typically have many hard disk slots as the low end servers DL360 etc are normally used for infrastructure services and the high end DL580, DL740 for SAN attached functions such as databases, or file servers, they also typically don't have as many PCI slots as the ML range.
********** Specification*************
The DL740 is the top end of the DL range and will accept either 4 or 8 Intel Zeon processors ranging from 2.0GHz to 3.0GHz , the server comes...
