We have spent millions on Dell in the last years and they still couldn't give us a reasonable deal. for 6 servers that would perform practically the same. They still came back with an offer that was 20k more expensive than that of HPE. We all agreed that a ReadyNode really isn't anything special, it's still just hardware and we could build it ourselves. Prior to this we were in a call with our Dell sales guy and two technical specialists. We had Dell and HPE send us an offer for 6 vSAN ReadyNodes with all the specifications laid out. They know there's no good reason for it, but they can seldom get more than another 10-20% off those inflated prices. Looking at the difference in price between buying the RAM alone, versus the same entire server (with two of the most expensive 96C CPUs, storage, NICs, everything) including the same 1.5TB of RAM, didn't even quite equate to AMD's list price for one of the CPUs.ĭrives my Dell account team up the wall too. Tried it recently for 24× 64GB DIMMs as an upgrade for our test Epyc Gen 4 system. I constantly have to fight with my higher-ups to make sure they're buying hardware (RAM especially) with a 5-year lifespan in mind, because to upgrade it later you're often better to just buy a whole-ass new system. Dell's pricing on "spares" post-purchase is just like that for some reason. Still considerably more, but nowhere near as excessive as $13k. What's most annoying about that is those SSDs would have cost you $5k if you'd bought them with the machine at purchase time. So either the Person I was in contact with has not have any mail communications in the last 9 month or no one told them before that their out of office response is still active and a little outdated. The time window for the out of office response was 9 month ago. I send an answer with more information to the email and got an automatic 'out of office' response. I even got a reply via email, which contained pictures of the webpage and told me to basically do what I already have been doing without success. I contacted supermicro over the webpage contact formular and told them that the download wasn't working and what steps I tried.
After filling out the 'guest' information the download button does nothing again. As a guest you have then to fill out the same information you would need to create an account. Download button does nothing when you are logged in, when you are not logged in you get a popup to continue by signing in or as guest. Last week I needed to download a ipmi config tool from the supermicro website.
