Advantages: Reliable well-built stable high-quality HP Disadvantages: Expensive
As part of my job I build, configure and maintain servers for small to medium sized business so have used a wide range of servers on a regular basis.
The Proliant ML370 G4 like most HP servers is generally a well constructed, reliable server computer. I have used the lightning fast dual Xeon 3.02GHz version with standard 1GB of PC2-3200 DDR2 and as you might expect it runs quite nicely. The server case is quite robust and fits nicely into your rack if you put it together correctly!
Our ML370 is currently running Windows 2003 SBS, Exchange 2003, BizTrack, Navision with still plently of processing power left over. Based on 50 users constantly access files over the network, emailing and using SQL server heavily it still seems to show room for expansion alongside the growth of the business. If you are considering using Terminal ...
Advantages: Lots of resource, processor power and expansion Disadvantages: Price and extras needed.
Fantastic performance , flawless reliability and reassuringly pricey is a good way to describe one of our Proliant ML370 servers here in the office.
If you need your server to deliver cutting edge technology with bulletproof backup, this is a must for any self respecting IT guy.
The Proliant range from HP has been around for a few years but the latest generation takes advantage of shrinking sized parts and components and power saving methods to evolve an already successful product.
We have both the G5 and G4 models of this server and the main obvious change is the disk size. The hard disks (and it can take up to 8 of them) and the newer slimline serial SCSI type rather than the Ultra SCSI in the G4. Faster and with the same lightning response time, they obviously draw less power resouce from your server and power supply ...
Advantages: Value for Money, Upgradeability, Customer Service. Disadvantages: No Major Disadvantages
for money. HP customer services are always helpfull and reliable. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone who is either starting up a small business or looking for more networking capabilities at home. ...
