<div>We are purchasing 5 servers this next month and the HPs are at least a 1/3 less then the MCSs. The nice part about HP direct is they come with a 3 year parts and labor on them..... rather then paying yearly a huge amount to cisco for hardware support that I've never used anyway.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm also wanting a newer server..... but cisco isn't going to move to a H3 until all the H2's are sold..... and it sounds like they have quite a few left to sell. so can we all say..... THANK you cisco for being so customer first :-(</div>

<div class="Wj3C7c">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.<br>
<br>I need to replace 4 7845's coming up this fiscal year... gonna look at ordering direct from HP this time.<br><br>

<div>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?<br>
