SuperMicro Supplier Canada, Toronto area

[Starscream-F15]

Hey guys,

 

I am part of a large IT firm and we are looking to get away from HPE / Lenovo servers. The cost of the "genuine" hardware is killer and hard to pass it back on to the customer.  Awhile back I used SuperMicro components and I have always been a fan and I parted out a built comparing it directly to a HPE / Lenovo counterpart and the price is a lot better. 

 

My question is does anyone know a good supplier in the Toronto area for SuperMicro components? The only one I know of is ASI.  I know Linus uses SM all the time I don't know where he gets it though.

 

TIA

SM FTW. It's a great choice even for home users! I have built 4 servers and 2 workstations using SM and never had a problem. Sorry I don't know a supplier in your area though

While these are primarily targeted attacks, for business use, be cautious of SuperMicro.
