Re: Server comparison

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As has been noted there is basically '2U' of difference :-)

The S812 cannot be virtualized either so if you find out you need a 
separate partition for any reason, you can't.

Do be aware there is also an S822, also a 2 box, which CAN be 
virtualized but given the size you're mentioning is likely a bit of 
overkill.

You have a very small system there which is exactly the type of customer 
our iInTheCloud offering is built for. Contact me off line if you're 
interested in discussing our offering.
