DRAC Cards

[Freckled]

Anyone here have any experience with the DRAC cards that come with the Dell Servers?

A friend I have has used them with their ev1servers.net account and said it is more useful then their support

That doesn't necessarily say much, though, does it? Other than "ev1servers' support isn't much hotter than a lukewarm pancake"?

Ev1servers support is still in the biskwick form

Do you think ev1servers.net support is lacklustre because their mindset is that they sell un-managed servers and you are supposed to be at an intermediate to expert level in system administration before considering purchasing a server?

Or they lack the skilled support staff to answer your questions?

I am speaking from the perspective of an outsider again that has never used ev1servers.

Sorry for taking this OT.

rwaforums,

Actually both... they can say they provide unmanged service but when they give you a server which has failing hard drives or a bad chip set that is their fault.

Their support sucks when taking up to an hour to get a reboot. Average is about 8 to 15 minutes though. So in both yes I don't like them much. When they give you a good product their service is great.

People still use ev1servers......I wouldn't ever use them because of the SCO thing.
