Hi All,
Sorry for the off topic post, but there are lots of people in the know
on the list ;)
Basically a customer requires a beefy server with a difference.
Memory/processing power/storage are not what they require. Ultimately
they are after redundancy.
So Redundant memory slots, multiple CPU's with fail over, hot swap pci
cards, raid 5+1 etc
Does such a system exist or are they better off looking at a cluster?
Note: this isn't for a shared environment, its for an office that is
manned 24/7 and the software they use is required to be available 100%
off the time.
I've looked at the HP DL 380 Cluster pack, I have also set one of these
up in the past few months for another customer. But they cost a bloody
fortune! :)
Thanks,
Paul
