You might have heard that Oracle is offering deals for owners of HP Superdome hardware who trade in their legacy servers. Until May 31, discounts of 50 percent will be available to customers who trade in any HP Superdome server for a Sun SPARC M8000 or Sun SPARC M9000. At Acclinet, however, we're offering remarkable discounts on the same machines without requiring trade-ins.

We're able to offer industry-leading discounts on new and refurbished M8000/M9000 servers as well as a myriad of other Sun solutions, including the M3000, M4000 and M5000.

The Sun servers we carry are available up to 48-month warranties. We also offer best-of-breed Sun support plans that will lower your system's total cost of ownership (TCO) by extending its service life.

Most of us have heard of Linux.  It's one of those terms you can hardly miss when talking about computers.  So what's so great about it? To sum it up with one phrase: It's free.  We all seem to love that word even though it is rarely true.  Well, for the purpose of this blog, I will say Linux is 100% truly free.  No I'm not pushing Linux, so this assumption is not self serving.  

People once (and still do) use something else and turned to Linux because they were being overcharged.  So is there anything else that is free?  Yes, there are other operating systems that are free.  There are various ones, but the one I find notable is Solaris.  Why? Because it has been widely used in mission-critical applications since the 80s and has had a large focus on scalability.  Solaris is a Unix operating system that found itself abandoned by many for Linux.  The main underlying problem was price.  Well, after some controversial internal politics and legal maneuvering within Sun they released Solaris as free in 2005 and even placed development in a community-run project named Opensolaris.  Problem solved.  Thanks to Linux.

Some of you may be concerned with speed or compatibility but Solaris has done much to address this since it became free with numerous world records in performance and a bigger compatibility list than any single distribution of Linux.

Now why not AIX or HP-UX?.  Two reasons really.  They aren't free.  They don't run on x86 architecture, which is by far the majority of the market.

Why not Windows?  Let's go with it's not free, although there are many, many other reasons.

There is also hardware backing for Solaris from IBM, HP, Dell, Fujitsu, and of course Sun/Oracle. So will Linux end up being just a price check for Unix? Tags: Untagged
