What is "best service" and "better performance" for you?

best service means if any problem acuurs , needs updates of drivers , how quickly vendor will responce and resolve the issue,

and performance of Hardware , life span and aging efects on the harware.

I doubt that many people here experiences with different vendors to compare them.

HP has good reputation, their servers are in many benchmarks (http://www.sap.com/benchmark), DELL is known to be the less expensive one but I can't state on their quality.

We use HP servers for all our systems (Linux + Solaris x64) and we're very happy with them, the services and the support.

Don't know what you mean. There are too many unknown things.

I suggest you get a basis consultant on-site to determin what is the best setup for your environment. I don't now your sizing, database, underlying I/O system, necessary throughput etc.
