Funny - I have exactly the opposite experience;
when both companies were asked to deliver a testbed
for 4 weeks (rentals!), the Dell system arrived, and was installed
within 3 business days.
HP brought in an obviously used Compaq Proliant, had the
wrong configuration (we requested copper, not glass SAN
connections), and had not fixed it after three weeks.
The test was conducted solely on Dell, which performed outstanding.
FWIIW: EBS Suite, plus custom extensions, plus custom apps,on Linux.
And I now work daily with HP, and HP-UX (11.23) is just not it. HP disks are seriously overpriced (after all, it's just Seagate(?) in disguise).
Maybe service is region related...
