I would say I'm partial to the big brands, however I think I'm coming around.

Shortly after I said that our vendor sent us a server that they knew had hardware issues and we had to fight them for a refund... So I think we're moving to Dell now.

Out of this list dell for sure. Best management tools and they don't hide update packages behind a support paywall. Also dell open manage is really useful.

What about outside of this list?

The agency that I worked for prior to my current agency upgraded to all Dell VXrail nodes. Those things are pretty powerful! I was very impressed. We migrated from HPE servers to the VXrail.

I wish we were more standard on servers, it seems like we have brands all over the place (especially after Covid).

I guess I never ended up updating this... We started using a vendor that sells all of the big brands so it kind of works out.
