People have been reporting their experiences both talking to Oracle, HP, Dell, etc regarding Solaris support and how there are conflicting views out there. You seem to be shooting the messengers.
I'll report my experience here (please don't shoot me): our Dell sales rep has stated that they will offer support for Solaris on Dell servers. When asked who'd be providing that support (Oracle or Dell), they said their own engineers would for as long as the warranty period lasted. I've placed the same question to our HP sales rep and I'm waiting for their answer just to see if it matches other peoples' experience. Personally, I find the conflicting views just a result of slow channel negotiations and slow moving corporations. Those of us requiring consistent facts should probably wait a few months until agreements get reviewed and word goes all the way down to the sales rep in each organization. If they are selling support right now when they shouldn't, it's not our problem: they will have to honour their contracts. I wonder if you're regarded as a hero against the masses of ignorant zombies outside your walled garden. 2010/4/27 Matthias Pfützner <matth...@pfuetzner.de> > Again, as stated, > > can you please provide a PUBLIC REFERENCABLE site, that explicitly states > that?
