In summary, the most popular brands of servers are HP, IBM, Dell, Sun, and Apple. The specifications of the server depends on the application it is used for such web server, storage, high availability, or a compute cluster. But for simple applications any general purpose server will do.

Hello there :smile:

I am doing a little research to try and find out what the most popular Brand/Models of servers are.

I tried searching things like "Top Ten Server Brands" and "Top Server Brands" but the results are coming back a little vague and I don't know much about the sources.

Does anyone know of any reliable sources where I might have better luck with this kind of search?

I will keep Googling, but if anyone has any ideas, please chime in.

Thanks :smile:

I'm not sure that there is that many server brands. The most popular brands are HP, IBM, Dell, Sun, and Apple. The rest is custom made.

Interesting. Though there aren't that many brands, I believe there are many models.

I will be needing to lookup certain specifications of the 'best-selling' models.

What are you going to be using the server for?

I am not :smile: I am interested in making a generalization about the relationship between the power of a server and its airflow.

But for the generalization to be meaningful and useful, it should be about servers that are used widely.

Thanks,

In general, more heat is dissipated with more CPU power, and competitive brands use same processors, and most 1U chassis have vents in front and back.

You might also want to compare rack vs blade servers.

Yes. It is going to be for Rack Servers only. The company I work for makes cooling solutions for Data Centers.

In our current mathematical mode we assume a conservative airflow X[cfm] per KW.

I believe that by changing 'X' to something closer to what is actually being used, our model will see drastic improvements.

But, before I going changing 'X' to 'X_new' I need to know what's out there so that it is a reasonable change.

Ya' dig? :smile:
