With Sun's latest service prices on my old E4500 with two A1000's I can get a new Sun 490 with two 3510 fiber arrays and almost pay for it for free in 5 years. I got the numbers approved for a new Informix server. So the big question what to get? I currently run 7.3 on the E4500. I have another server running 9.4 with no issues on Solaris 9. Would it be safer to stay with 9.4 and Solaris 9 or should I do IDS 10 on Solaris 10 or 9? We are no Informix experts over here, I rely heavily on this group and Art for help. So I don't want anything that could be a risk. Thanks Gary Quiring

I'd start looking at IDS 10 The IDS 9.40 should be made obsolete before IDs 10, so if you move to 10 now then you are likely to be able to stay there longer than you would be able to stay on IDS 9.40
