I think it was 35C here yesterday.... My server room when I went up there was at 39C

Owch. Our stuff starts shutting down if the rooms get much over 30C

Dell will do that. HPE operates above 40C pretty well.

@brianlittlejohn It is also the dedicated ac in my server room that went out nobody else is physically affected

We are primarily a Dell shop here... so yeah. I don't mind stuff shutting down due to self-preservation, lol.

Yeah, I mostly prefer Dell, but their heat sensitivity sucks compared to HPE. I've had datacenters hit 160F and lost zero HPE servers... lost every Dell and Cisco though, including switches.

Lost as in failed, or lost as in self preservation?

Both. They failed to stay up and running, causing an outage. The HPE kept running and had no need to shut down for self preservation because it wasn't hot enough to damage them. So a heat induced outage.

Someone who likes cigars please explain something to me. Why would someone spend $1500 on 1 single cigar?

Background: I have a Social Media client that is a high-end cigar shop (I do all their social media stuff for them). I don't get cigars... let alone the cost for some of these.

I need to be able to market these things but can't find good ways to describe them for ads.

Interesting - so you're saying that HPE have higher heat tolerances than Dell? or does HPE just not have thermal shutdown, instead opting for thermal meltdown, if over-heated? I am asking this mostly tongue in cheek.

Probably both. Which would you prefer, a machine that shuts down from external heat and causes an outage for sure, or one that does best effort to keep your environment running?
