tough row to hoe for sun and x86 products... theregister.co.uk "All told, GCG interviewed 212 enterprise x86 server customers. The majority of these customers employed more than 1,000 workers and owned between 20 and hundreds of servers. In addition, the vast majority of the customers bought systems from two, three or all four vendors with just 25 per cent of those surveyed standardizing on a single vendor. GCG worked to normalize the results, "so that vendor scores are not skewed by the number of respondents who prefer a particular vendor." Here's what GCG found. In overall x86 technology, IBM posted a VPI (vendor preference index) score of 120, which compares to 100 for HP, 89 for Sun and a humble 40 for Dell. IBM also won out in observed system performance and raw system performance, although HP almost matched Big Blue in both categories. Sun again finished third, and Dell brought up the rear."
