SAM-SD Hardware Server Vendors

@Tim_G Newegg is pretty good at getting things out fast. I had to replace a SuperMicro mobo in my server last year for 1 XS host, i ordered it one morning got it the next. Their cases are great and can come with redundant power supplies. They definitely dont have the support network of Dell, but getting parts next day is not impossible. And their stuff rarely goes bad in my experience.

If you get parts from places like Ingram Micro, we can often get parts in around two hours!

just discovered this reseller they provide NBD support on selected EU countries for supermicro.
they also suggest you to buy spare parts for replacement like fans, power suppliers, hdd, in the while NBD passes... basically they replace your backup NBD, with the exception that if you lose the mobo or the raid controller you need to wait NBD. -

It's not available with SuperMicro (yet?) but on Dell, it is. I can hook you up with the people to talk to if you want one

@travisdh1 I mean what is the hardware Dell is selling as SAM-SD?

Well, dagnabit, I don't have a link I can give you for that in 2 seconds!

A set of models will be available very shortly. But R730xd base will be the most popular, for sure. Will be coming in several configurations, including ones on full Linux, BSD and Windows (including with Starwind SAN upgrades.)

I see that the R730xd already has full support for Windows, Redhat, and SuSE.
Once they are available, could you kindly send me a Dell link? I'm curious to see what makes one common R730xd file server non-SAM-SD, and another a SAM-SD.

Links will likely be a few weeks as specs get finalized. There are two questions to answer, one is what makes something a SAM-SD generally which I know you asked a few weeks ago. The second is what makes something an officially, supported SAM-SD and that is easier to answer... when it gets a SAM-SD serial number and support agreement
And the later is available as of midnight EEST, which looks to be in about eight minutes.That's for both the EU and US as well. Some other countries have it available too, but are more complicated outside of EU and US, so you'd have to ask on a case by case basis.

So wait... the SAM-SD is officially a thing now?

Ah, well that's simple enough!

I'm sure I'll see a post here on Mangolassi when the time comes, I'll keep an eye out, but will be busy traveling in a few weeks. Poke me when it happens just in case!

As of five minutes ago, yes.

There are some other SAM-SD product specs that are unrelated to what you asked that have to come out first. They could be out by Monday, but that's ambitious.

Coming soon, was not really expecting to announce it last night. Logistics are in place, links are not

What o/s (or should that be what hypervisor's) will be available?
