I have to agree with Dick. I have worked with Sun and HP, both are good. HP is better in the HA environment. HP MC serviceguard is less expensive than Sun's Veritas Trusted Cluster.

Nosie,
After 8 years of having those old reliable boulders in the computer
room, I
can very happily recommend HP's 9000 series of computers with HP-UX, any
flavor
you like, and EMC's Symetrix disk arrays. I call them "boulders" because
that's
just how they act, they just sit there doing their jobs 24x7x52 without so
much
as an uncontrolled burb. I'd say that the latest series on L & N class
machines
are really good with their built-in "soft fail" and total hot-swap
capability.
Also, in HP's case where it's an extra, go with Predictive Support. They
add a
software package onto the machine that snoops around looking for trouble &
then
calls home. It's kind of nice having your support guy call from the front
desk
with a spare part in hand, before you even notice a problem.

Dear All,
My team is writing a proposal for our huge core system using Oracle database. We already consider IBM mainframe S/390 as an alternative and we are now looking for another alternative using UNIX env. Can anybody inform or recommend me the largest, most-powerful, stable unix machine where Oracle can run on?
Thank you in advance.
Nosie
