Re: HP vs SUN for a UNIX box

here go the vendor wars again: for ha, go w/ hp, otherwise go for the most bang for the buck, depends on how desperate the sales person is? i've found hp's ha sw (mc serviceguard), backup sw omniback inexpensive compared to other vendors. look at the total package not just hardware, e.g. storage vendor, backup strategy, ha, etc?

Hi, dear listers,
My boss has decided to switch production to a UNIX box and now he's asking me for a recommendation between HP and SUN. I am a newbee to UNIX (to put it the softest way). I've heard people say HP is better, but need more than that...
The DB itself is about 40G on RAID (currently on Windoze 2k). Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sergey Babich
