Compaq touts "The most accomplished blade since Zorro."

Low-power servers at the front-end for simple Web serving or applications like firewalls, gateways or DNS servers

Mid-tier servers designed for performance applications like Web and ASP hosting, terminal server farms and media streaming

Back-end servers for high-performance applications like SQL database serving, SAN and cluster nodes


These will suck up a lot of server chips, all Intel, of course.

Tony,
Dell will likely try the "here try this server for free and pay us if you like it" like they have done all along.

OTOH, I hear things like Dells servers have a bad reputation compared to Compaqs which have a reputation of being very stable...(exact opposite of the retail desktop market)
Any truth to this?
