The service nodes we got from GridPP are now getting old enough that I'd
like to get some new machines for the critical bits (well, the DPM head
node, basically.)
Since we don't need cutting-edge high-performance, and only two, maybe
three, boxes max. I don't think tendering for custom machines is the way
to go!
Something like a dual-core Dell PowerEdge R200 is about the level I'm
thinking of.
Has anybody bought similar off-the-shelf servers and had success getting
SL4 to work?
Thanks
Henry
