Re: SUN vs. HP

 I have been working with Oracle under HP, I find HP server with high fault toulerence and reliable. If we tune the OS and DB then we can get maximum performance. One word of caution is that, if u use Mc Servicegaurd then u shud go for OPS. Which works for only on RAW partitions. Administration will not be a easy job. Instead go for AutoRAID box which HP has got. It converts itself bet RAID5 and RAID1/0.

My recomendation will be for RAID10, where u have disk mirroring,stripping and protection for Data and better performance.

I have not worked with SUN. But i have heard that the native code,compilation and testing of oracle is in the SUN OS.

But HP is also a good OS.

H/w is slightly costlier in HP.
