Load Balancing - Why buy Load Balancing Hardware or Software from Loadbalancer.org?:
"What is different about the Loadbalancer.org hardware platforms?
Loadbalancer.org has used various commodity server platforms and we like the Supermicro servers because of their excellent build quality, flexibility and reliability. Originally we used IDE flash adapter / Compact flash combinations to give more reliability than hard drive based units. However after being stung with a couple of batches of unreliable flash cards we have moved to transcend DOM (Disk on module) units with integrated ECC checking."
