Hi,
We had
some disaster problems with IBMs NetFinity racks. We had to send all 5 back at
various times. The HDs died, the systems overheated, etc. They looked nice in
principal, but in reality they didn't hold up so well. We now use Dell servers
which kick ass. IBM generally makes good hardware..but these 4000 racks were
terrible. I think they didn't alot much space for heating. They are small..only
1.5 ru's and all.

Subject: Orion hardware?I've almost convinced my company to go with Orion as our choice of application server (vs Dynamo, which is horrific). Now, the intended hardware is a bunch of IBM servers, dual pentium's with 1gb of ram, with an F5 load balancer in front. Has anyone experienced any issues with scalability given this hardware? The main concern voiced against Orion is that it isn't a big reliable company that can be held accountable, so I'm concerned on the level of support available. Has anyone had any negative experience here?
Also, in terms of OS choice, is anyone happily running a high load site under linux?
