The reliability of SUN machines is lost today. I had worked with SUN 6500 /4500 /450 /420 servers and still am working with SUN. When ever SUN Enterprise Servers crashed, we did not know the reasons because the core dump could not be read by all IT staff. Later, one hardware specialist found that it was due to ECC problem, which was known to SUN before the machines were delivered to customers. After this news appeared in the Internet, SUN admitted that they knew the problem a year ago, but did not reveal to customers. So SUN delivered the faulty machine and the OS with bug. To our surprise, there were no patch available.

If I am wealthy, I drive BMW car, if I am not wealthy, I drive Toyota car.

Same way, if an organization gets good revenue and good profit, then it will buy IBM servers not SUN machines. SUN machines are suitable for medium size organizations where they still want to work with UNIX even though they are not reliable, and they can afford down time. NT is suitable for medium /small organizations where the database is around 50 to 100 GB.
