Server make & model database
Greetings, Experts.
I'm attempting to obtain a vendor database or online resource that contains a wide range of makes & models of servers from Dell, HP, Supermicro, Sun and other major manufacturers. I'm in the process of building a server support interface that needs to include a wide range of pre-existing hardware in an interface similar to the way car manufacturers and models are typically organized and presented with pulldown menu options.
Any ideas where I could obtain this information? Thank you!

I'm in the process of contacting the manufacturers directly and have begun scaping away in their support sections.
Thank you for the input and I appeciate your time.

You will NEVER get a return on an investment. Even HP's online configurator isn't infallible and the channel often has to go to HP to verify compatibility.
I suggest you forget the whole idea. It is unworkable if HP is a vendor. Probably unworkable if either Sun or Dell is also a vendor. Supermicro can be done, but you better have budget for full-time employees to maintain and verify it. Even Supermicro hasn't provided such a configurator for their own use.
