And if it didn't cost $200k to get into a decent NetApp setup, I'd go for
it. Looks like I'm about to get stuck with one, however. My choice would
be a dual E-420/A5200/Veritas setup with no single points of failure. Costs
about $100k less than a no-single-point-of-failure NetApp cluster.
But either way. I am mostly curious as to why people hate Solaris so much,
when I don't have any problems with it. Granted, we have a modest setup,
with only about 250,000 e-mails transitting the e-mail server per day, but I
haven't had to throw any serious hardware at it either. I guess if I'm
happy, and my customers are happy, that's all that really counts, right? ;-)
Sincerely,
