HP Delivers Another Workhorse

摘要

You know a product is good when you keep trying to think of ways not to send it back to its maker. Hewlett-Packard's HP ProLiant DL380 G4 is one of those products. It arrived in time for a test of desktop encryption solutions (infoworld.com/3413) and then stayed around for a few other projects. Just when I was ready to send it back to HP, a server in a PBX review tanked — once again into the breach went the DL380, and once again it performed perfectly. HP has designed a capable, high-performance, highly flexible server for the enterprise rack and has priced it so that it's a reasonable buy for departments and the SMB market. The DL380 seems to embody an IT manager's wish list: No matter what I asked of this machine, it delivered.
