I’ve long thought that Supermicro was the Rodney Dangerfield of server vendors. After years of delivering solid, if not especially exciting, servers, the company still don’t get no respect from most customers, who'd rather buy their servers from HP, IBM or Dell. Supermicro may be worth a second look, as their products have evolved from generic, one- and two-processor tower and rack-mount servers, and may be just the cost-effective solution to one or more of your server problems.
