- druiid 13y agoI'd say it's vastly out of date now. You can squeeze a LOT into new Dell/HP 1U/2U servers. Their R620 systems can take nearly a terabyte (768GB) of memory per server and the R720 can do the same, but with the 720XD it can do 24 drives in a single 2U space. Top that off with the newer Intel processors and you have a huge amount of hardware available to you in not a very large amount of space.
