hello,

I have to deploy a java/CORBA server on a new host. I have to choose
between 2 configurations:

Conf#1
SUN, V240 2x(ultraSparc3@1,5GHz), 64Bits, RISK
Solaris 9

Conf#2
PC 2x(Opteron dualcore)@2.8GHz 64bits, SISK
Linux RedHat 4


which is the best for my java application, in terms of performances
and reliability? Is there some deployment tips about RAM, hard
drive... things to avoid... I must take into account ?

Java application:
no GUI
highly threaded
java 6 (I hope, 5 else...)
no developpement on this host

I doubt there is a way to generalize /a priori/. Run sample apps that have similar performance characteristics to your intended application(s), and measure the results.

How important is performance, and how much difference must there be to matter?

Have you considered O.S. alternatives that may speed up performance, e.g., QNX?

One tip is to provide maximum RAM and very effing fast hard drives.

OTOH, aren't reliability and up-time ultimately more important than raw speed? How durable are these machines? How likely for a RAM chip to fail? How expensive is support for each platform?

If raw speed is so important, why limit yourself to those two platforms?

Are you using RAID drive configurations?

By the way, the acronyms are "RISC" and "CISC", not "RISK" and "SISK". They are acronyms, so the spelling matters. GIYF.
