I have run both side by side, and still do run Linux for some customers and Solaris for others. Linux wins on ease of installation and apps available, Solaris wins on just about everything else (better threading, VM pager, etc).
If you have the source code to your application and it runs on both platforms, Solaris will run it better.
- tptacek 18y agoI don't doubt that for totally standard three-tier apps with no OS-specific customization, on a J2EE stack, Solaris will run your app "better". I strongly doubt it runs it better enough to cost-justify. Many of the largest web apps today scale horizontally, instead of trying to squeeze blood from stones in the VM system and thread scheduler.
