HP at version 10 and better is yet another SYSVR4 system. From a users or programmers point of view it is very generic. Service Guard is HP fault tolerant solution where two boxes share disk and if one node fails the other can take over. It is fairly complex and requires a good UNIX sysadmin.

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

I have been working with Oracle under HP, I find HP server with high fault toulerence and reliable. If we tune the OS and DB then we can get maximum performance. One word of caution is that, if u use Mc Servicegaurd then u shud go for OPS. Which works for only on RAW partitions.
