Hi, I'm just looking for any experiences that people might want to offer on this subject. My project is in the process of selecting hardware to build out our system, and we are considering getting a few of the new Sun Fire T1000's to run mysql on.
We are expecting that the project will have a steady load of ~50-100 concurrent threads (usually sleeping) with occasionally huge spikes (it's for a project that will have a pretty high public profile with national press releases, etc). Has anyone had much experience with this hardware under loads? How does it compare with, for example, an opteron system? Thanks in advance!
