RE: Best platform for Informix?
I've been avoiding dishing in my .02 I've had more hardware failures with Sun than either HP or IBM. I've had HP disks physically fall off a counter and hit the floor and still keep running (during the whole thing) and I love HP-UX. I've used an S70 with Oracle and vowed never to go there again - although I suspect the issue was Oracle and not the IBM which a couple of Informix worthies swear by. cheers j. > -----Original Message----- > From: Wolf P'ter [mailto:peter.wolf@capsys.hu] > Sent: Friday, November 17, 2000 7:30 AM > To: 'Dirk Moolman'; informix-list > Subject: RE: Best platform for Informix? > > > I have head that Informix uses Sun platform for developing. > It means that Sun is the best _supported_ platform. > > -----Eredeti 'zenet----- > Felad': Dirk Moolman [mailto:dirkm@reach.co.za] > Elk'ldve: 2000. november 17. 9:07 > C'mzett: informix-list > T'rgy: FW: Best platform for Informix? > > > I think Informix will disagree with you on this one, but > they won't admit > it though - politics, partnership, etc ........ > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-informix-list@iiug.iiug.org > [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.iiug.org]On Behalf Of Ed Brown > Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2000 3:09 PM > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: Re: Best platform for Informix? > > > HP9000/HP-UX is well supported by Informix, and very reliable > hardware. > > "Watson, Paul" <Paul.Watson@aggregate.com> wrote in message > news:8v0ab2$mc$1@news.xmission.com... > > > > I like Sun and have never had a serious problem.
