[cisco-voip] HP DL380 G5 servers

[Jonathan Charles]

This is going to sound weird, but we were building an internal lab for
customer testing (interop) and we bought a stack of DL380 G3's (10 for
$2500) and a crap-load of 72GB hard drives... the servers came with
dual 3.06Ghz CPUs and 4GB of RAM.

We have had no problems installing anything... Presence, CUCM, IPCC,
CUC... everything works fine.
