I assumed you could simply walk up and look at the front of the box.
Apparently not. It is in a datacenter, which apparently you don't have
access to? No big deal though. Knowing the vendor wasn't as important
as verifying it is indeed an 8 socket box.

dmidecode might tell you the vendor, might not, but it'll tell you the
BIOS vendor and rev, which may be a good clue to the vendor. But you
don't have root.

It is indeed an 8 socket 8 core, 2 threads/core Xeon box. Impressive.
And costly--over $70K USD for that one box, not including its storage
(or service contract). How much memory does top or 'free -g' report?
How about /bin/df so we can see how much storage is attached?
And, more importantly, as I asked previously, what workloads are run on
this box? What is its purpose? Most systems this beefy run databases.
I notice the box is running RHEL6.
