I recently joined a company and was surprised to hear that we had a large deployed estate of Broadberry devices (i think we have 5 or 6 them). Imagine my surprise when 4 of the units experienced complete failure over a 6-week period, requiring hardware resets and FS checks after reboot. The last 3 failures were related to a single disk failure in a RAID array and required a firmware flash of the controllers before the system would even reboot. The data came back OK as the VG was merely degraded after a single failure, but still scary. Anybody else have a similar experience? Needless to say, we are moving to an alternate and more resilient platform, but we are faced with the prospect of managing this platform for at least another 12 months. I am curious to see if anybody else has any insight into how this is possible or how to prevent future (potentially) career limiting events.

I think Broadberry mostly sells rebadged Supermicro servers. So any resources you can find that apply to the equivalent Supermicro will also apply to your Broadberry boxes. Don't know if this helps you at all.
