Overall Satisfaction with Dell PowerEdge R
We use Dell PowerEdge R servers for any requirement for traditional rack mount server compute and storage. Typically we'll use them for physical database servers, file sharing servers where significant storage is required with often the addition of hybrid storage (using Enmotus software) of hard disk and ssd combinations to deliver excellent i/o performance for a good price.

Whilst Dell & HP servers are pretty much the same commodity internals, we find equivalent spec Dell servers are almost always lower both initial purchase and ongoing support and maintenance. The software tools provided between HP and Dell are pretty much equivalent.
Specifying Dell servers on their website compared to HP Proliant is much more intuitive .
