Have you found Sun reliable? We've had bad experiences with the hardware and support to the end that we dumped them a year and a half ago. OTOH we've had no problems with AIX or IBM support. We've also found their clustering software to be the most reliable we've tried. Other's included Veritas and SGI. It fails over when it's supposed to and *only* when it's supposed to. I can't say I've experienced that with the others.
