Server RAM has been standardized over the past few years. However, advances abound. PC133 are beginning to show up in the market. The latter can survive on a bus running at 133 MHz, while the former is being designed to support bus speeds up to 800 MHz. Easy Knowing how new servers will integrate into your data centers is critical.
Most enterprise servers come with some form of management.
If some form of advanced network management isn't in place, you're in luck because integrated management in servers has seen huge improvements. When looking at the server management packages, consider autodiscovery, cluster management and Web-based management features as essentials. Autodiscovery is similar to what you would find in most conventional switched network-management packages, but without the fancy graphical interface. However, some advanced server packages will logically map and provide graphical schematics of your network topologies. Cluster management, in the context of server management, lets you replicate updates and changes to servers included in the cluster.
