I don't see Solaris 11 going into production anytime soon. At least not in the sites I deal with. The management decision thus far has been to scrap Solaris entirely and go to Linux as the migration cost is cheaper than the long term support costs from Oracle. I am not sure what the business plan is with Oracle but Solaris is all the way back to the days of 2002 when x86 was stupidly dropped. As for Solaris 9, the decision that I have seen is not to upgrade but to scrap it entirely. Even the BEA WebLogic servers and all the Oracle db servers. Sad. No one even mentions Solaris 11 in a meeting at all or they would get laughed all the way to the street. Seriously, its that ugly.
