I am currently in the process of evaluating hardware possibilities
for a UNIX based system that will be using INGRES.  Two of our
potential vendors are Pyramid and CCI.  The machines under 
consideration are the Pyramid 90x and the CCI Power 6/32.  

It has been very difficult to find unbiased third party opinions.
If there is anyone who has had experience with either of these vendors, 
I would appreciate any information/opinions that you might be willing 
to pass on.  I am particularly interested in items such as hardware
reliability, and vendor responsiveness.


P.S.  This project will need to support a large number of very sizable
      databases.  Projected total database requirements are 35 Gbytes.



Thanks in advance for any help,
