Sergey,

I asked my SA to add his 2 cents, guess he's not inclined. Anyway, I've been on HP for the last 10 years, coming from VMS, & I love it. VERY stable,
easy to use, although I don't do the admin any longer it was easy with SAM even
when it was a character based tool. Rman/OmniBack integration is well documented in the OmniBack manuals & works as advertised. HP support is pretty
darn good as well, especially in the middle of the night when the system won't
boot. I've had HP support tech's remotely logged in to the system helping get
it back online. Also if you have a problem that is not in the area of the tech
you call they normally conference in the needed assistance. Problems can be resolved as fast as they occur. We also don't use disk arrays from HP, but then
HP & EMC really like each other. If you want an inexpensive disk alternative
look into NetAppliance.

Stay with HP. It's a hell of a lot more reliable, and does not require anywhere near the # of patches, and its patches work far more often that Sun's. I've done 5 years with each, and there's no question that HP is superior.

Thank you,

Our shop is switching from HP to Sun. No one can tell me why. There must be a cost savings somewhere.

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
