Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Opinions request - Oracle on WIN2K vs Unix
Tony,
Thanks for the insight. One point I should be clear about this is not about Linux (free) vs Windows as in the previous thread. Linux is not even in the ballpark (please no flames - I have no personal complaint with Linux). Its about the money spent (chargeback) on a Risc processor based Unix server (HP K580 actually) vs the cheaper hardware for Intel.
>From a cost perspective on hardware its an easy sell. The unknown for me, is
the support/management/reliability aspect on Win2k.
thx again
