"Servers are nothing more than glorified workstations." Really...Wow - I've been a Systems Engineer for many years an in the industry for over 22 years. I can locate a lot of differences in the systems (servers) I have designed and implemented over the years vs a "Workstation". Lets see...how many workstations can deal with 4+ processors? Like 6 and 8 way systems. Hot swap power supplies with 3 total 2 running and a hot spare. Dual PCI chanels for failover. dual fibre network cards.. one on each PCI channel (Failover) Fibre Optic connections (Dual) from the server to the RAID5 fibre storage array. Dual power feeds to the rack from differant electric companies to assure uptime. I could go on... No need. Clint
