  1. Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X4450 server

    Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X4450 server

    For raw power Sun Microsystem's Sun Fire X4450 is the gutsiest server we've seen, and at 2RU it's compact considering its specs. However, priced at over AU$27,000, this machine will make a dent in your budget.

  2. IBM System x3455

    IBM System x3455

    This is a good choice for compute-intensive applications, but the System x3455's restricted storage and availability options limit its use when it comes to general hosting duties.

    Round-up: Dual-core servers

    Multi-core processors deliver many benefits, including much-improved performance per watt, over single-core designs. We examine three dual-core servers from the leading vendors to see what this technology can do for your business.

  4.  Dell PowerEdge 1950

    Dell PowerEdge 1950

    With computing power to burn, the PowerEdge 1950 is ideal where high performance is required, such as clustering and Web front-end duties. However, the ramped format does make life more difficult when it comes to database hosting and other backend deployments.

  5. HP ProLiant ML370 G5

    HP ProLiant ML370 G5

    It can handle a wide range of backend business applications, but HP's Proliant ML370 G5 is over-specified for organisations with more modest requirements.

  6. Acer Altos R520

    Acer Altos R520

    Acer has taken standard Intel OEM components to put together a highly configurable and very scalable 1U server, capable of handling a variety of tasks. It's more than a match for similar products from the big-name vendors.

  7. Raritan Dominion PX8

    Raritan Dominion PX8

    The Raritan Dominion PX keeps track of power consumption, and records temperature and humidity data from sensors placed amongst your servers. When combined with an un-interruptible power supply, we think it will keep your servers safe and happy.

  8. Sun Fire X4275

    Sun Fire X4275

    Sun Microsystem's Sun Fire X4275 is an excellent all-rounder, although we'd love it if the noise could be cut down a little more.

  9. Asus TS500-E5 tower server

    Asus TS500-E5 tower server

    Asus' TS500 offers reliability, speed and efficiency at a low price for a mid-range tower server. However, case design is not ideal, and the system strangely requires a PS2 keyboard and mouse.

    HP ProLiant DL585 G5 Server

    The HP ProLiant DL585 G5 is a powerful server with a strong emphasis on reliability and serviceability that reduces overall device cost.
