There is the old saying that "No one gets fired for buying IBM". If one buys an IBM system which runs 30 isolated instances of Linux, all of which are used for mission critical applications, is this a similar risk to consolidating storage on a Thumper since we are really talking about just one big system? In what way is consolidating on Sun/Thumper more or less risky to an enterprise than consolidating on a big IBM server with many subordinate OS instances?
