We have received a copy of the SmallBizWindows Server of the Year HP Proliant DL385 G7 for a long term review here at SmallBizWindows.

This is a mungo great system:

• Two 12-core AMD Opteron Processors
• 32GB of PC3-10600R Memory (8 x 4GB)
• HP SmartArray P410i RAID Controller with 512MB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC)
• Three (3) 146GB SAS hard drives (6Gb/s, 10k rpm) in a RAID5 configuration
• Four 1Gb NIC ports (Two dual-port 1GbE NC382i Multifunction NICs)
• Two hot pluggable 750 watt Platinum Power Supplies
• Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

I shall be racking this baby upon my return to The Orbiting O’Odua next week.
