Brian, >Anyone who thinks SUNW is a great tech name should read this:

Yes, that's from the Forbes article that we analyzed and took apart yesterday. Conclusion was that Sun did not design into even their highest priced flagship servers a reliability feature that has been around for years: cache ECC. IBM and HP have it on their Unix servers and even the much lower price Intel based servers have had it since about 1997. Still, the Sun mystique persists...for now. Check this from the article:

"I said to Sun, 'My God, you knew about this problem, and you didn't tell me? That's unconscionable,' " he says.Verisign still uses Sun for some tasks but has moved important systems onto IBM Unix servers.
