dell's personal computers are by no means a reflection on their servers. i can't stand dell's but some of the most reliable non-mainframe type machines i've seen have been dell.

Dell makes a good server.

They actually make a good desktop, laptop and workstation as far as I'm concerned. They're well built and easy to repair. Users are more often the problem than the units themselves.

QFT! Where I work we use Dell exclusively, and we've never had a problem with them. I deploy all the servers, workstations and laptops - and they are dead easy to support and work with. And if I do have problems, ProSupport/Gold Tech Support is top notch at Dell (don't get anything less than ProSupport though).

Yep, I did that in a previous role. We, at different points, also deployed Toshiba and Lenovo laptops. Support and repairs on both were utter nightmares. Dell's premium support is bliss by comparison.

Still dont see the point in taking the server down so long, if he might be able to just do it again.

I understand you cant keep the server up during attacks like the last one, but how far does he really want to go?

Besides that the attacks seems to happen during the same usual periods, while getting old wasnt noticeable most of the day.

You might be upgrading and moving some bits who knows, but for now it seems like he won and might still be sitting with the upper hand [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Wont be able to play this weekend even if the server came up anyway, so good luck.

I am well aware that Dell actually makes decent, and propably also good servers. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The problem is their personal line of products, and the fact that their service is very much different in some part of europe than in the states.
Some have very good experiences with their support, but many others have the exact oposite, where Dell is ranged as some of the worst support you can get. Their pro support tend to be a bit better, but not really great [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
