It's that time again! Lets hear from all the hardware zealots out there!
I've searched through the archives, but I didn't find anything up to date that would help me. . .so, lets cover this again.
We're about to start on another upgrade. We are presently a 400 shop running everything WTS and fat clients.
Upper management is considering switching to a new server and/or database, SO . .
Should we stick with the 400?
Should we switch to UNIX?
Should we stay with DB2?
Should we go with SQL Server?
Should we switch to NT?
Should we switch to Intel?
Should we. . . . (fill in the question)?
What do all of you prefer? I don't care how long your answer is, or how loud you shout, I just need overall opinion.
Cost of ownership?
Ease of administration?
Security?
Downtime?
Disaster recover?
Pros/cons?
Say whatever you want. . .Just tell me what you're happy about and what you hate.
