Hi All,
Following on from a recent post last year, I'm writing to ask about people's experiences/recommendations with buying and using hardware from different companies.
The previous post concluded that to assemble 1GB genomes and do some transcriptome assembly, you might want something like this (assuming you could afford it)
4 x 8 core intel processors
512GB RAM
15TB hard drive space with fast i/o
If we take that setup as a given, my question is where would you buy it and why?
Some obvious options are:
Dell
HP
Supermicro
But I'd be interested to hear people's experiences, and any other information like reliability, price, other companies, or totally different solutions. (Bearing in mind that server maintenance can be a large and ongoing cost...)
It might help if people make clear what country they are talking about when discussing pricing.
Cheers,
Rob
