Art :
My NT/SQL Installations are quite stable, I have to reboot them 2 or 3 times
a year or when
I decide to install an NT or SQL Service Pack (except B7321 where I must
reboot once a week).
That's acceptable to me and my users, but I wouldn't qualify it as "stable
as a rock".
As I've already said on previous mails, 95% of my problems come from
OneWorld itself not
from the underlying platform.

Asunto: RE: WIntel or AS/400
I am currently evaluating Wintel vs AS400 as I prepare for an upgrade from
7322 coexistent to Xe. I am curious about some of the comments being made.
1) From a cost viewpoint, once disaster recovery / business continuity is
added to the equation, the AS400 starts to look costly.
2) AS/400+DB2/400 is solid and stable as a rock. Does this infer that the
Wintel platform is not stable. I am very familiar with the issues of
Windows NT but I thought that One World running SQL was OK. Since I re-IPL
the AS400 every week, I would assume that the NT system would need the same.
Or does it need to be booted more often?
3) scalability - For the amount of money it takes to upgrade an AS400 a new
PC server could be purchased?
We currently run on an AS400 720 with 130 users
I haven't really come to any conclusions yet, just still asking lots of
questions.
