Million Dollar Reviews: Sun E10K/4500/450 Servers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the is-that-a-fat-wallet-in-your-pocket? dept.

redir writes "There is an interesting article on Reviewboard.com about Sun's bigboy E10k million dollar servers. They also have one on the E4500 and the E450.. It's a good read and breaks down the rational behind the architecture designs." I might prefer an IBM S/390 for my own den, but it's interesting for those of us at present lacking a computer budget like these demand to read about what makes them so pricey. Maxing out at 16 multi-CPU system boards and 64 gigs of RAM makes a nice start.

  2. WHAT THE **HELL**. PLEASE MOD THIS UP. by AtariDatacenter · · Score: 5
    This was an opinion I wrote on Epinions in the middle of the night. In fact, it was my first review for the site. You can read my review HERE.. Now read THEIR ARTICLE. Their nearly 100% identical. Paragraphs have been outright stolen.

    All the sudden, this ends up as a review with a different author at another web site? What the HELL is going on? If you have questions, please EMAIL ME. jmccorm@galstar.com

    This REALLY PISSES ME OFF! MY article pre-dates theirs. Hell, I should know. I wrote it in the middle of the night. And I don't see any date on their publication. I'm assuming it was published today or yesterday. I demand credit for my work. Hell, this is worth an article.
