If I understand you correctly, you're implying that an industrial-grade server company like Dell necessarily has to work like this. But I assert that they don't. I believe there is a niche in the market just waiting for a modern, transparent, fast new startup that gives you these products at a transparent price, with minimal fuss, no tricks required. Configure a blade rack online, order it, next week it's in your office. It works like that for consumer stuff, let's bring that kind of convenience to businesses.
- scottm01 15y agoNo, I'm suggesting that in my experience Dell operates more like what you're proposing then what you're originally describing. I get (generally) transparent pricing, flexibility, and the servers show up at my datacenter next week as ordered. I'm done defending Dell though; and don't think I'm arguing there is no room for improvement. At the very least, one's experience with Dell seems to vary wildly depending on account reps and established agreements and processes. There is no reason our experiences should be so different.
