Solaris 10 on Dell R710 server
Hello everyone,
We have an application which runs on SPARC machine, it is tested and runs without any problem, we are due to upgrade that machine but as cost-cutting measures we are thinking of buying a Dell PowerEdge 710 x86 machine this time, two questions..
1) any performance difference you reckon between a modern SPARC machine (e.g. SPARC M5000) and Dell R710 machine?
2) technically is there any thing which can stop our application running on x86 platform which successfully runs on SPARC platform?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Cheers.
