From Gsais@co.palm-beach.fl.us Tue, 20 Mar 2001 15:17:48 -0800 From: "Gene Sais" Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 15:17:48 -0800 Subject: Re: SUN vs. HP Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Check the numbers again, especially the software. Having done the same study 1.5 yrs ago, HP was a little more expensive in the HW but much cheaper in SW. Reason being Sun uses Veritas Trusted Cluster (expensive $100k) for HA and HP uses MCServiceguard. I've worked 5 yrs w/ Sun and 1.5 yrs w/ HP equipment. They were both good, but if I had to choose, HP gave you many more tools whereas w/ Sun you buy everything. My last flavor of unix to conquer is IBM AIX. They do it differently also. For that matter, so did DEC OSF/1, now Compaq Tru64 unix (hard to say compaq unix). Just my $.02. Gene Sais PS. Lets not forget OpenVMS, dam good OS! >>> a.apostolopoulos@TRUCK24.com 03/20/01 01:31PM >>> Hi, we are currently in the process of evaluating a high availiability cluster for our production database. The final two solutions are: SunCluster 2x420R 2Gig 2x450Mhz Storage 100Gig Hewlett Packard MC ServiceGuard 2xL-Class 2x440Mhz 2Gig Storage VA 7100 100Gig Based on our criterias (scalability, performance, TCO, price, reliability, support, in house experience ...) it looks like a dead race...
