When i say HP, i don't necessarily mean not HPE, its just a typing
autopilot thing.  i've had some outright battles with HP sales,
support, and with their hardware specifically over the years.  they
have a lot of nifty ideas, but i've found they generally fall short
when the product actually hits the market or it's got some obnoxious
quirk that other server vendors don't have.  ie Gen8 server rails.

this is just my opinion, others i'm sure will differ.
