This is the same old story we've been hearing for years. We like you but "You're just too expensive!". Come on - that is old news. You've already learned that we are not proprietary and now you'll learn why we are cost effective too. I'll give you a hint - it has something to do with not being proprietary! Web infrastructure is our bread and butter. Sure, we still do the high end stuff for applications that need it but Web 2.0 is where it's at and we've got the most cost effective solutions for you! Let's start with your basic Linux vs. Solaris discussion and then get into Web Infrastructure. Example #1: It's not just about acquisition. A study by Crimson Consulting Group highlights why Solaris is actually more cost effective then Linux. When doing a cost analysis, you must compare all costs including acquisition, support, implementation and administration. Solaris comes out ahead and this paper isn't even looking at OpenSolaris! Example #2: SWaP it!. Ok, ok, so you might think that the above study was sponsored by Sun and may be slightly biased. Maybe. But, here's one by Paul Murphy, a unix author, on his own blog site. Oh, and did we forget to mention the SWaP metric above. Yes, aside from all the hard costs listed in the study, SWaP (Space, Watts and Power) was left off. Paul explains why this impacts the cost of Solaris (for the better!) and that's on Sparc. Example #3: OpenSolaris. Speaking of OpenSolaris, here's a quick article that talks about why OpenSolaris has a leg over Linux… Example #4: Solaris x86 - right in the mix. Speaking of Linux and x86 platforms, Solaris is right there in the mix. You might think we are the old pricey OS company but we're not. We just price competitive with your other choices. Linux, Windows, etc… Example #5: Stuff from Sun Ok, I must include a few links from Sun because I really want to impress upon that once you've accepted that the costs can be the same or lower than Linux, you must also include the benefits of using Solaris over Linux for your web infrastructure. It is our hope that that will help tip the scale towards Sun.
I hope that this gives you a good unbiased sampling of why Solaris is less costly than Linux for Web Infrastructures! Enjoy!! -Robin
A few important reminders about good coding practices when JavaScript is required for link or forms. Using JavaScript incorrectly can prevent users from right-clicking (or middle-clicking) links to open pages in new windows or tabs if they want, and increases the risk that a critical hyperlink may not function. It may also not work as well down the road if a user someday wants to view the page on their mobile phone, etc. JavaScript should basically never appear in an href. That is, you should basically never see some JS code here> The href should almost always include the server-side URL to open, not # or JS code If JavaScript is required, it should appear as an OnClick event, not in the href. Example: View Webcast If you’re interested, more examples can be seen at In forms, don’t override the standard form Submit button action with JS. Instead, use the onsubmit event handler of the
