I think you should also consider Dell poweredge servers, which are easily available and if I am not mistaken, most of the web host betting on technologies of dell in the market. The most usual reason behind dell's popularity is affordable rates and guarantee of high quality of resources.

Anyway, if I want to pick server between IBM or HP server, I would like to choose IBM, because we have some IBM's and they are better than HP....

Brands are not good indicators of quality these days. Quite frankly corporate interests have taken over IBM, HP, and Dell. At the end of the day, you can't really tell the difference between their servers. They all make the same product just with different names.

Absolutely, the Dell's high density poweredge servers are more powerful than any other servers. They offers high-end servers with latest Intel processor technologies which helps to improve the server performance more effectively. In most of the data centers Dell servers are used as they are especially built for enterprise flexibility.

Aha SuperMicro indeed, their philosophy is basically based on green computing leadership and system design expertise on performance and power saving technologies which can also be called as an eco-friendly technology.

Absolutely agree with this one. I was really impressed with their dual-server in size of 1U!

Dell, IBM, and HP all use the same components in their servers. It is just a matter of how much they put in. They all use Intel processors but obviously the clocking is different.
