Taking Sun up on the T2000 try and buy offer
When it was first announced I thought 'hmmm cool but not relevant for me...'. Then I got a really cool gig to run Pentaho BI and Alfresco on various app servers open source and not (in particular - JBoss, JOnAS, WebSphere, WebLogic, GlassFish and Geronimo).
Well that is no simple task to be sure but I figured while I'm at it I might as well try to score a free server from Sun. So I ordered one of the T2000 servers. I will be configuring it and deploying all these app servers to the T2000 in the next few days (as soon as it gets here). I'll let you know how getting Pentaho and Alfresco running on each of them goes. I'll also be running some performance #'s on each server and each hardware platform. Look for me to be performance drama man for the next several weeks :-).
In addition to the Sun hardware I will also be hitting Unisys (hoping I don't have any problems with that one:), Dell and IBM machines.
I also created a new category to track these posts. Feel free to subscribe if you are interested in the drama :-)
