You must be joking. In one sentence you stated "Sun's servers are much better" and then add "they are not suitable for running mission critical tasks". Well which one is it?

There are many variables to high end servers and the more complicated the system, the more difficult it can be to restore service. One should also consider how prepared for disaster were the companies that had trouble? I think it's very easy to point a finger at the hardware supplier when there is trouble. How well the system is designed from a software, hardware, backup/restoration, etc. perspective is the key to success. Often it's easier to repair the hardware then it is to rebuild all the database issues.

Understand that I haven't looked into either situation you mention and I'm only talking from a theoretical view.

Good luck.
