Hey, folks,
I'm working on finding some new compute nodes. What I'm looking for
is
a 64 core box, with room enough for a lot of RAM. I can get it from
Dell, or HP (bleah! a 4U box), but I need to have three quotes, y'know.
We've gotten a lot from Penguin in the past, but they're all
Supermicro, and we've had a *lot* of problems with the 64 core boxes,
so I'm looking for another vendor.
Suggestions? Recommendations? People to run the other way from?
(Sun/Oracle is down there *under* "none of the above").

I have never seen any problems with them. I assume you mean AMD, in which case the IPMI sucks but other than that..... Dell PowerEdge R815's are pretty ok. Cheers, Andrew
We switched from HP to Fujitsu a couple of years ago, and couldn't be happier. Look into their RX line, I think the RX500 and RX900 (iirc) do 4 and 8 socket. digimer On 29/05/14 11:26 AM, m.roth at 5-cent.us wrote:> Hey, folks, > > I'm working on finding some new compute nodes.
