![]() HP Enterprise's Proliant Microserver Gen8 has successfully managed to fend off competition – thanks to an attractive feature mix and plenty of discounts – and ultimately own this market. One of the fastest growing segments of the server market is dominated by a single company. With four DIMM slots and four storage bays, this server supports up to 32TB of storage and 32GB of memory. We like the fact that it comes with an optical drive and has two Gigabit Ethernet ports for redundancy. This model incudes an Intel Xeon E3-1226 v3, two 1TB hard drives and 16GB of RAM. Like pretty much everyone at this end of the market, it is designed to run silently 24/7 and offers RAID 0/1/10 but not 5. If your server breaks down within the first year of purchase, not only will Fujitsu fix or replace it, the company will also refund you the amount you paid for the server. The TX1310 is its entry-level, SMB-focused server and comes with some pretty solid credentials plus an unmatched, industry-leading reliability guarantee. And yet, the Japanese manufacturer is one of the very few (if not the only one) that can claim to be involved in anything from SMB servers to, well, supercomputers. When you think about servers, Fujitsu is probably not the first vendor which springs to mind. No RAID 5 -Fujitsu isn't the first brand you'd think of Read the full review: Dell PowerEdge T20 Other than a Gigabit Ethernet port, the other points of interest are a 290W PSU and an Intel-based RAID controller. Astoundingly for a PC of this price, you also get two DisplayPort connectors, a VGA one, two PS2 and one serial port. Expansion capabilities include four SATA ports (32TB if you use 8TB hard drives), four I/O slots and 10 USB ports. It has a Haswell-based Pentium processor that can clock up to 3GHz and supports up to 32GB DDR3 ECC RAM (note that this model comes with 4GB). While the barebones version doesn't have a hard drive, it's certainly cheap – in the recent past, it has been priced at less than £100 (with cashback offers, that is – it’s always well worth keeping an eye out for these). Take the PowerEdge T20 for example it has benefited from a wealth of knowledge derived from the 20 years of experience Dell has building servers. ![]() ![]() Servers do not have to be massive or expensive.
