Hello!
At Queen's University, we are evaluating tenders for systems to
run INGRES-based management information systems.
One of the serious contenders is Alpha 2100 running under OSF/1.
There are some scare stories circulating about the reliability of OSF/1.
Can anyone comment on this, or put me in contact
with sites which use it, preferably in a time-sharing or any database
environment? Positive and negative experiences would be appreciated.
Comments on performance would also be welcome, but it is more the
reliability than concerns us.
The other contender is Sparc20/Solaris , so if anyone has any comments
on the relative merits of these solutions we are keen to listen.
Thanks.
