Cons
"The shipment time can be improved. When we order Intel products, we have to wait for a long time. They can increase the local services and engineers in China. Local engineers will be able to know and understand customer problems much better.""We have to scale it ourselves but it scales. It depends on the software because it's mostly the hardware platform that Intel is managing.""When you have an Intel Server System, the prices may be much higher since it is a different processor, making the solution's pricing part one of its shortcomings where improvements are required."

More Intel Server System Cons →

"Oracle SPARC Servers should be fine-tuned well enough to work with the other servers and software products in the market, as it is an area where Oracle SPARC Servers lack.""They have declared the end of life of the hardware.""I would like to see a reduced price point.""Oracle doesn't have a good roadmap for the solution because they are moving to the x86 platform.""They need some sort of modeling because IBM has different types of models.""The solution could improve by giving a clear roadmap about the future. I'm not seeing a lot of improvements on the OS side of the software. They need to work more on the operating system.""Like IBM, Oracle SPARC Servers should be able to run other open operating systems like Linux."

  • "The application running on it is very important to us and this makes the price worth it."
