You can view details about all critical components and use LDAP and RADIUS servers to authenticate remote access. The RMM features aren't as sophisticated as HP's iLO2 chip, but they do work well and include KVM-over-IP remote control as standard and not as an optional extra.
Gateway's server deployment tools won't beat Dell's LifeCycle Controller, but its bootable Smart Setup disk does include a useful toolbox of utilities. These can be used to install an OS, configure the remote management controller, create RAID arrays and clone system configurations for use with multiple servers.
Our favourite 1U rack server is still Dell's superbly designed PowerEdge R610 and the Gateway GR360 F1 won't be changing our minds. However, it does compete strongly with HP's DL360 as it has equally good expansion potential but is significantly better value.
Verdict
Gateway’s new GR360 F1 has high storage capacity and plenty of expansion potential in a well-built 1U chassis. Remote management tools aren’t as good as those offered by Dell or HP, but the GR360 F1 costs a lot less than a similarly specified ProLiant DL360.
