Speaking of CPQ servers, I just learned about 15 minutes ago that _all_ the servers at the American Red Cross Nat'l Headquarters are Compaqs. Their storage business goes to EMC.

I learned this when I tried to make a donation online and got a message saying there was a problem processing my request and directing me to a telephone number. The number was for someone in Red Cross tech support. He told me mine was the second call he had received and that he had just reported that the server for online donations was down. This opened the door so I asked him what brand of server. Without hesitation he said, "It's a Compaq."

Humm... I next asked him if they used many Compaqs and he said that as far as he knew, all the servers were Compaqs. The way he put it, "You wouldn't believe how many we have. They take up almost the whole floor. This is national headquarters. "

I asked if there were any SUNW's and he said none that he had seen.

On storage he was a bit wabbly. All he knew was that they dealt with EMC. He said he knew this because EMC called from time to time alerting them about a problem with a cable or something else.

Now that I have their special tech support number, I'm going to call in a few days during the day time and see if I can find out what servers are used at the international headquarters in Geneva.
