Hi, For a couple of years we have been running Oracle on NT on a Unisys server. We are in the process of acquiring a new server (ES7000) and I am pushing for the move to Unix. Now, out of the blue, the Unisys rep is now trying to move us to W2000 instead of Unixware. His claim is that Oracle is starting to pay more attention to Intel machines and W2000 and is improving the performance of Oracle on such platforms. I'll spare you all the prattle ...
It seems to me to be a big red flag when the vender tries to steer us away from one of their own products, saying that they are 'focusing on W2000 rather than Unixware'. Question: Is Oracle really increasing the effort it puts into the W2000 platform? I am tired of being at the bottom of the list for patches. Question: If we are locked into a Unisys machine (which we are) would W2000 truly be a better choice than Unixware ? Question: Do I smell a rat?
