Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Dell PowerEdge R servers as web servers and email servers to store students' data. This server is competitively priced. It provides a quick return on investment. Their service is good as they provide next business day onsite support and service. It uses SSD for OS and hence the failure rate is low, so it provides high uptime.
Pros
- Dell is direct
- Cost-effective offering good ROI
- Up to even 8 years post-warranty spares support
- Driver support for all OS
Cons
- Liquid cooling of the servers can reduce heat generation.
- From NBD warranty, they can move to a same-day warranty.
- Preventive maintenance during the warranty period.
Likelihood to Recommend
Comes in a small form factor of 1U making it ideal for increasing rack density. Has a very low failure rate and hence has more than 99% server uptime. In case there is any hardware failure then in such cases it takes a lot of time to log a call with their technical support team.
