Fwd: comparion: solaris 10 vs RHEL5 - memory

[Oliver Pinter (Pintér Olivér)]

Hi All!


Maximum RAM:
* 2 TB on current hardware  -> solaris10
* 256 GB on X64 -> RHEL5

from http://blogs.sun.com/BVass/resource/SolarisRHELNEWcomparison.pdf

the questions is:

this informations is correct or not?

Thanks,
Oliver

The amount listed for RHEL is not the theoretical maximum, but
the largest amount that has actually been tested. The limits are 
different per architecture.

You'll also want to ask yourself the question:

	"Is this information complete?"

It's not hard to come up with a few checklist items where
RHEL looks better than Solaris, but they don't seem to be
in this particular PDF :)

We just deployed a Linux system at NASA with 4TB RAM and 4096 cores (IA64).

But there are systems with more memory out there like the one in Munich 
with 16TB:
