Linux vs Unix

[Platypus]

Somewhere in the region of $90k from what I've been led to believe so far.

But don't quote me on that until it's on the price list

You're kidding, right?! More like US$1m, see http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/p...ist-070598.pdf

Insight here into how Oracle fiddles the benchmarks, Challenging Oracle’s SPARC SuperCluster Claims | Smarter Questions for a Smarter Planet

Oh, and here’s an interesting twist. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that Oracle didn’t actually use a SPARC SuperCluster for this benchmark result. The SPARC SuperCluster comes with the zFS storage appliance, whereas this benchmark instead use F5100 flash arrays (which clearly provide better performance).

Sorry - was only quoting the price of the machine without the software licencing on it. Build of the machine is somewhere in the region of $95k based on the prices on Oracle Store.
