I think if you ask 100 people you will get 100 unique answers. I will
say that my current company we use sun hardware. They offer a
"startup essentials" program if your a startup and they can be very
competitive to even the box shifters. They run linux and of course
solaris. We use cheap commodity hardware options. We found a couple
of advantages with these units:
lights out management
can put a lot of memory in even their most basic of boxes (the cheap
ecc options too).
support is great
seem to be very reliable
do have plenty of "exotic" machine offerings if your application calls
for them (we stay away mostly from that though)
