    Last month, a reporter for The Register compared Dell servers to Marilyn Monroe . The Register’s reference was to the movie “Some Like it Hot” and was a fun comparison for Dell’s heat tolerant IT solutions, which have been validated to run up to 45C. I’m wondering if there is a theme emerging here, because I think Easy Rider could be a good nickname too. If you look at how end users might take advantage of this capability, they include: The capability to operate...
