- haltingproblem 6y agoWe profiled Supermicro vs. Dell vs. HP vs. IBM servers a decade ago for trading applications. Supermicro was cheaper by 20-30% had a quantitatively better power profile which basically meant it paid for itself and just rocked on every dimension. And their sales reps were able to answer every question we had including sending us a excel model of their power usage. The dell folks never got back to us on power usage. I dunno why folks insist on Dell crapola.
