Check the numbers again, especially the software. Having done the same study 1.5 yrs
ago, HP was a little more expensive in the HW but much cheaper in SW. Reason being
Sun uses Veritas Trusted Cluster (expensive $100k) for HA and HP uses MCServiceguard.
I've worked 5 yrs w/ Sun and 1.5 yrs w/ HP equipment. They were both good, but if I
had to choose, HP gave you many more tools whereas w/ Sun you buy everything.
My last flavor of unix to conquer is IBM AIX. They do it differently also. For that
matter, so did DEC OSF/1, now Compaq Tru64 unix (hard to say compaq unix).
Just my $.02.

Hi,
we are currently in the process of evaluating a high availiability cluster
for our production database. The final two solutions are:
SunCluster 2x420R 2Gig 2x450Mhz
Storage 100Gig
Hewlett Packard MC ServiceGuard
2xL-Class 2x440Mhz 2Gig
Storage VA 7100 100Gig
Based on our criterias (scalability, performance, TCO, price, reliability,
support, in house experience ...) it looks like a dead race...
Any suggestions or thoughts would be help full
cheers alex
