Cool Thanks, Have you used one at all? the price seemed very reasonable with the quote I got for the spec and functionality. Cheers.

it looks quite promising I think the only problem seems its not like a real upgradable server its more like a blade series server so you cannot for instance later add a host bus adapter<br />
so think about its a cheap blade setup for the sme market <br />

so forget what I was saying about hba's as in a blade its done on the chassis not the server as such as the servers plug into a midplane board

Anyone used an NEC flexpower server

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
