I

I work at a large investmentbank and I love the IBM Power servers! They are rock stable and high performant. But recently we benched 3 of the Power 570 servers against one SUN T5440 on Siebel 8.0 and the SUN machine crushed them all (see Oracle web page for exact numbers). Since then we are migrating away from Power servers to Solaris and SUN. I love the Power servers, but they dont cut it when it comes to performance nor price. One P570 cost several times more than one T5440
