Recently, I came across this short video clip by Nick Kloski where he briefly describes the advantages of running MySQL on Sun Servers (Linux, Windows, and Solaris) and details some of the best server options for MySQL and when they should be used. There's also some details on how you can try the systems out before buying them. Check it out here.
If you would like more specifics than the above video, then there are some examples of customers deploying MySQL in Containers and / or LDoms on Sun systems at:

Additionally, here a a few references to blogs from my colleagues that post specific details on tests that they have done.

It's only a commercial with no relevant content. Thanks for wasting my time.
