[cisco-voip] HP OEM servers instead of MCS

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I'm hoping Cisco will update it's swonly page to include the latest HP hardware and the H3 equivelants. The only H3 equiv is the 7825. I got a quote from an HP rep and she said that stuff is really old. Same deal, but she was able to get it for us. It's a shame really, spending all that money on old hardware.

  Has the HP sales people you folks work with been good with making sure you get exactly the right part numbers and following through with the order to make sure everything is compatible? We don't have an HP contract so i've never worked with them. With our IBM rep i sent the exact part numbers from the compatibility list and the guy came back and told me they didnt sell that hardware anymore, but seemed willing to try to sell me some servers that were not exactly right "but they would run faster anyway". Never mind the actual lack of any kind of support from Cisco for them.

  I need to replace 4 7845's coming up this fiscal year... gonna look at ordering direct from HP this time.

      When you provide your own hardware (HP) I assume the only difference is that you don't have the hardware support from Cisco.  Is the software support on the applications still the same when you use your own hardware?
