We are starting a project where two users will build web servers for charity. They will be given a small gift to start out and then document their builds
The HP ProLiant DL180 G6 is quickly becoming a popular 2U server platform with 14x 3.5" SAS or SATA drives, a built in SAS expander and often a RAID controller all at a very low initial cost
Leaked specs of the HP ProLiant Microserver Gen8 server are out as well as a release timeframe! HP is moving to an Intel socket LGA1155 Pentium and Celeron
Recycling older server processors can yield great results. We benchmarked single & dual Intel Xeon L5520 configurations v. Amazon AWS EC2 & Rackspace Cloud
