Hello everyone,

I'm in the process of upgrading my data center, and I'm looking for some insights on choosing the right rack server. There are so many options out there, and I want to make sure I make an informed decision.

What factors should I consider when selecting a rack server for my data center? I want to ensure reliability, scalability, and performance.

Here are a few questions to get the discussion started:

Which rack server brands have you had the best experience with in terms of reliability and support?
How do you determine the right size and form factor for your rack server based on your data center's space constraints?
Are there specific CPU and RAM specifications that you recommend for different workloads?
What about storage options? Should I prioritize SSDs, HDDs, or a mix of both?
How important is remote management and monitoring capability for your data center?
I'd greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations from those of you who have experience in selecting rack servers for data centers. Thanks in advance!
