I don't have a Sun Box, but I do have two IBM SP2-Frames running various SAP-Systems and other applications and databases. One of those systems is a 4 CPU (450 MHz) WideNode with 4 GB Memory serving as a SAP APO Central Instance and DB-Server (AIX 4.3.3 64bit with 64bit SAPDB). My developers and users where quite satisfied with overall system performance - until recently I installed a testsystem on a Dell PowerEdge 2250(2 PIII 1.4 GHz, 4GB Mem, running SuSE SLES) and copied the productive DB (~ 15 GB) to that node. The testsystem just 'feels' much faster on working with the APO-Gui and is twice as fast than the AIX box comparing batch times. I'm not finished with my tests yet, but some cheap PC-Hardware could really outperform those expensive RISC-systems.
