Thanx to all that reply to my Enterprise 5000 questions!
Here is my original message:
I don´t know if this is the correct place to ask, but we´re considering
purchasing two Enterprise 5000 servers, and I would like to know
technical specs and personal experiences with it. Any informiation
would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
and here is what I have been told:
It seems, as it must be obvious, that the best thing to do is get
information at Sun:
-Peter L. Wargo (plw@ncgr.org)
Technical specs can be found off of Sun's web site: http://www.sun.com.
Get them (Enterprise 5000) with the new 336MHz CPU's, it's worth it.
-Jerry Litteer (gll@inel.gov)
http://www.sun.com/servers/datacenter/announcement/ent_server_comparison.html
So far a great machine....
-Andrew Ho (aho@bbnplanet.com)
Technical spec: see www.sun.com
Personal experience: I prefer E4000, more flexable, and I don't pay
for
things I don't need. The down side is that I need a rack to mount all
the
devices I add.

Very stable. Very problem-free. And Solaris is very stable under heavy
loads.
-Steve Kay (steve@peachy.com)
Proper name is A5000. Very fast disk throughput.
Uses FCAL fibre loop all the way to the disk, so if you have a decent
stripe
( >5 disks ) then you can expect very fast I/O.
