"I have no idea; it is an industry standard server after all." That is what we heard from two
PR people, each representing a different large server manufacturer at CeBIT, when we asked them to elaborate on the differences between their servers and the competition. There is no better way to get sales people annoyed than asking them to differentiate their x86 servers on technical merits. A very popular philosophy among sales and even IT people is that the services and support make the difference; the hardware itself is merely a commodity - it does not matter which server you chose.
