On the hardware side, I note that it's a tower configuration. Is it quiet enough for use on the desktop?
It's very quiet. It makes much less noise than the wine fridge that is next to it. It is replacing a PowerEdge T105 that's about 5 years old. The T105 has a vibration problem that makes some metal parts in the case click and dust has reduced air-flow which causes some fan noise. But it's still not particularly loud. The Dell tower servers are all fairly quiet. On Thu, 7 Nov 2013, Toby Corkindale <toby@dryft.net> wrote:
You're paying for the support contract there, surely, not just the license to run it?
That would be the case if there was an option to run the software without paying for support. But payment isn't optional. Also there are significant differences in the support prices for the number of virtual machines. Going from 1VM to 4VMs may give a slight support price increase, but going from 4 to more probably won't be noticable. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
