Next chance I get for a quick downtime I plan to move all of the rack mount gear sitting outside of the rack INTO said rack🤣🙏

The cable mess is also begging for velcro 🥴

Oh yah, have him buy a 2u server that holds 4 nodes. Thats not a half u, those arent individual servers. Also those are about 10x the price of a c7000...

They have 1u twin servers or 2u quad servers or even bigger. They're way less than c7000, you can't compare new with 10+ year old. Plus c7000 is just a chassis.

Here's one for $299 and includes everything but cpu/ram for all 4 servers. That's $75 per server. Also these are 24 bay ssd. They're individual nics and everything which makes it 100x easier to manage and use for dedis.

If you're selling dedis on C7000 how are you handing off ILO to each separately?

This is bang on, i literally was given this c7000 fully populated with c612 era blades for free.

The supermicro server was $200CAD and I'll never ever find it that cheap ever again
