Dear Gurus,
We thinking about buying 2 processors Fire 280R Sun server .
But we noticed that there are also 240R servers offered by Sun
(seem to be new product). We also found out that Sun will
offer soon 440R server (vs Fire 480R). The main difference
is processor, namely its L2 cache. x40 series have 1MB L2 cache,
F x80R have 8MB cache. The other difference is price: x40 series
are muuuuuuuuch cheaper.
So I'd like to ask you about your opinion/comparison on/of 240 vs 280
or (soon) 440 vs 480 ...
Does anybody already use 240 ??? How does it behave ?
Which type of application could be run on 240 (or 440), and which
could not (web, file server, oracle or other DB, general purpose,
gateway etc)? Which type of application have to be run on 280 (480)
(i.e. highly require bigger cache)?
I'll summarize.
