Our business is in financial services and we are on the cross roads on rejuvenating the server of our core Oracle database. Previously we are using an Oracle's SPARC (Solaris) server, but we got some signals that several of our peers in industry have moved out from Solaris SPARC based server to modern x86 servers. What do you think on the future of Solaris SPARC? Is it still a worthy investment? And do you think their RAS (reliability, availability, scalability) selling point, is still significantly relevant differentiation with x86 modern server?
Have any network engineers implemented AI into their enterprise network, especially in managing traffic and frames in the Layer 2, minimizing data loss and looping in the network?
We're a manufacturing enterprise currently using Rockwell FactoryTalk on the OT side, with our infrastructure traditionally built on VMware. As many of you are likely aware, the Broadcom acquisition has significantly increased VMware support costs, prompting us to evaluate alternatives as we plan our next infrastructure refresh. One option we're considering is Microsoft Hyper-V. However, Rockwell does not officially support or test FactoryTalk on Hyper-V, which raises some concerns. I'm reaching out to the community to ask: - Is anyone currently running Rockwell FactoryTalk on a Hyper-V infrastructure in production or test environments? - What has your experience been in terms of stability, performance, and supportability? - Have you encountered any compatibility issues or limitations? Would you recommend this approach, or suggest sticking with VMware (or exploring other options)? Any insights, lessons learned, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
