There have been numerous posts about what server platforms to use, and as others have posted in the past, the certified list doesn't have many of the current models.
My question is what SHOULDN'T I be looking for? Are there certain processors (Intel, AMD) that won't work, certain motherboards, or certain RAID controllers, etc. that won't work? From my understanding of past posts, at least some (most?) of the problems with other systems have been due to a lack of proper timing (i.e. having a SIP only system with no PCI T1/Analog cards). I would include PCI cards in each system for either T1 or analog connectivity to a local telco.
I'd like to be able to sell a current model HP to my customers, but the current models (like the HP DL360 G6) aren't on the certified list. I'm ideally looking for:
low cost :-)
rack mount
hardware raid
redundant power supplies
separate management module (like HP's ILO)
Any insight on either the newer HP G6 models or what NOT to look for would be appreciated.
I realize that some servers might not have power for Analog cards, but I'm assuming that I can just run a power extension from the front of the chassis to the rear where the PCI cards are.
Thanks!
