...because let's face it, I am. Here's a message I stole from the MCPressOnline forums. I'm not going to comment, I think it does pretty darned well all by itself. ------- Keith, I am in the same boat as you. I took a Unix class, but was on the 400 until about three months ago. I don't remember much about Unix either. Everything here is so segmented and siloed, it's ridiculous. Forget the 20,000 users. We don't have nearly as many as that, and the servers crash at least once every week or two. AND we can't run production batch jobs until our client service center goes down for the day, because of the negative impact the batch jobs have on the service center screens. It's crazy to have to stay late to run these jobs. That's what queues and schedulers were invented for. I am taking a backwards step that I don't like. Our 400 application supported 24 clients in production, and test. We also had IVR and internet production and test running on the same server. No problems whatsoever. Now we have 7 production servers, 7 replication servers, 7 test servers, and 7 development servers. Also have two servers dedicated to processing long running client jobs. THAT'S EFFICIENT?? I don't even want to think about the personnel required to support that. That does not include our network servers. AAAHHH!! Thanks, Keith Doug. ----------- For those interested in the whole thread (hello Malcolm!), you can find it here: http://www.mcpressonline.com/mc?128@38.nU3Papa056v.111310@.6ae57658 Joe
