Server recommendation

You need to pick a server based on your requirements/price/skillset.

If money spending is not an issue you can choose Solaris server provided if you have skillset.
This is the best server and Operating System I have ever used.


If you are concerned about the money then you should go for Linux server.
You need to keep in mind that installing server application on Linux is not as easy as Solaris. You have to account for lot of dependency library issues which take considerable amount of time. Once you setup linux box running it is as good as solaris.

But when you come to upgrading your applications Linux is much faster than Solaris.

HP proliant stands out with better price/hardware combination for linux server. www.cdw.com has better prices always.
