Hello, Thanks again for that excellent first event, I knew zfs was good but it is even better presented by Bill & Jeff.
I am currently employed as system engineer in a company mostly working for statal and para-statal agencies. Our use of Solaris is mostly for database (Oracle, Ingres,...), application servers (BEA, tomcat,...), groupware (Lotus), ERP (PeopleSoft), and infrastructure servers (NetBackup, Tivoli, Patrol, identity management, proxies, mail...). We have around 50 SUN servers, mostly Solaris 8, except for 15 servers installed with Solaris 10 and containers (40 containers in total). The hardware we have covers more or less the whole range, from ancient netra T1 to V120, V210, V215, V220, V240, V280, V480, V880, V890, SF6800, SF6900 and the new T2000 (we have 12 of those). We deploy new servers using Wanboot with flash images and use a lot of LiveUpgrade too. The small systems use only local disks, the larger production systems use only SAN, for system and data disks. Our interests in new developments are zfs (we have a LOAD of veritas licences...), LDoms, low cost storage (who knows, Thumper ?) and dtrace. We will be upgrading the whole site to Solaris 10 this year. Although we will not find that much time this year to contribute to CHOSUG events, we will be more than happy to share our experiences with other members and benefit from the collective knowledge of the group.
