Charles,
The size of DW and individual tables and queries are factors which will help you decide whether to select the reliability and
scaleability offered by Unix. Windows is undoubtedly improving but seems to need more time to evolve into a credible competitor for the
multi-terabyte DW market.
Consider not only the probability of failure but how the system manages and restarts queries that have been interrupted - using Unix it
can appear seamless to the users with TData restarting queries where they were interrupted - I have not had the opportunity to see this with
Windows - can anyone else advise?
