I will no doubt going with Sun boxes. If you have priced Itanium systems on the web, you will find they are actually more expensive. Bear in mind still a lot of software hasn't been ported to Itanium.

It's hard not to talk about OSs when talking about hardware. After all they are what make the hardware useful. Solaris is definitely a better OS to run Oracle servers than Windows or Linux. Received on Fri Dec 19 2003 - 19:11:24 CST
