I called yesterday to have them connect me as directed. After more then 3 harrowing hours on the phone I was unable to speak w/ anyone who spoke basic English (and my Hebrew is not too bad). They were Rude, Abusive, Sarcastic, and worse of all were Unable to Understand me enough to connect me. After speaking to numerous "techs" they also refused to connect me w/ a superior. They make Netvision and their ilk seem civilized. THUMBS DOWN TO RIMON....LOSSERS I paid for Rimon service six months in advance last week. I called yesterday to have them connect me as directed.

They seriously improve the performance, power consumption, and RAS possibilities. They are the first processor Intel has put out which deserves a place inside enterprise hardware IMO. That said, Unless an application is single threaded and absolutely needs the faster clock speed, or doesn't support SPARC Solaris, I see no reason to use Intel based HW. Everything else is better on UltraSPARC- OS, server components (even comparing Sun X64 HW to Sun SPARC HW, the SPARC HW is better quality), virtualization, RAS, etc. Regarding the original topic of this post- I think things are pretty much working out. I'm disappointed that Oracle has discontinued future development of Webstack and I would prefer that their road map work on faster clock speeds in the T3 instead of more threads (At some point it doesn't help to have more threads in a single machine) and lastly, I really hope they don't do anything really drastic in Solaris 11.

I have a few very similar concerns: The 'phone home' stuff for example. There is no way my organisation will let our servers phone home to report back diagnostic information. How nice it would be for a hacker to capture how out of date my OS pathches are or my network topology or my mis-configured settings are. ok, ok, I know it would be all encrypted and secure and stuff but it's only secure until you find out it's not secure, so why do it :-) Secondly I thought OpenSolaris was very conspicuous by it's lack of visibility. But then again if I was Oracle I would dump OpenSolaris as it's essentially the next 'product' that people can pay for. Oracle bought Sun because Oracle made/makes money and Sun didn't!
