I use three Sun Blade with 32 CPU's and 64 GByte of memory with now 160
hardrives attached as PostgreSQL server and it is faster then the hell.
Also I have Sun Storage Servers with plenty of drives.
They have never failed and since Sun has offered me Solaris OR Linux I
with the same support I have choosen Linux...
There is not a singel thing, which is NOT working, including Hotswaping
of CPU's or memory...
OK, this are not computers for the pocket and cost money, but the SPARC
CPU's run more reliable as Intel (Itanium) or AMD (Opteron) CPU's.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
