Hi Saifi, OpenSolaris -> I don't have a specific segment for you, but I do like the following stack for enterprise apps:
- OpenSolaris - Glassfish - PostGRES - ZFS As for the ZFS ports - I believe MacOS is doing it too. There isn't much you canNOT do with the above stack for large-scale Java apps for enterprises. You could make the counter-argument for LAMP and that's a viable choice as well. There is nothing revolutionary in my thought process here, I just see some shops opting for alternative stacks. Being different might alienate your enterprise, but it might also improve survivability. That's where the Solaris angle came from. As for Solaris 8 or 9 -> that's not where I was coming from, since that would be the existing market. OpenSolaris/Solaris10 for the emerging Indian market is where I was focusing. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. That brings me to a tangent - in large Indian owned companies (not foreign subsidiaries), is it typical to have a CIO role? And if so, are our CIOs innovative or derivative? Is there a website or a publication that exposes the mindset of the Indian CIO to the industry? Understanding the mindset and their reasons behind it would give you a better indicator of what technology stacks will reign within their enterprises. Cheers, Zubin.
