We run Dell 2650's with Redhat Linux for our OAS systems. These boxes work very well for commodity boxes but the storage systems are fairly basic with internal drives in a mirrored configuration. We've had many problems with two Dell SANs that we use for non-Oracle applications (email; central file storage). Dell has been quick to get in to replace failed hardware, but we've had problems with the automated support stuff not working and Dell has been just plain terrible helping troubleshoot performance problems with one of our SANs. I'm about to buy new database servers with shared storage and Dell doesn't make the cut. You will pay (a little/lots) more for HP, IBM, or Sun hardware, but Dell's hardware and support doesn't compete as far as I'm concerned.
