 +==== HP Questions ====
 +
 +**UMICH**
 +  * Dell complacent, HP proactive (buys $1M in 3 years, 2852 cores)
 +  * No experience with software
 +  * Good HP support experience
 +  * HP more efficient than Dell, supports that
 +  * Torque/PBS shop
 +  * No IPoIB experience (yet)
 +  * Also a Dell shop
