With all that, i think a far more likely global meltdown is your communications, not the servers. Do you have redundancy for your communication providers? Do you have hot site availability? Long term power generation at main and remote site? Need to build a Disaster Avoidance/Recovery plan around what you have before looking to something like platform issues. btw-i wouldn't laugh too hard at the idea of bringing an OS down globally, the internet worms are getting better... but more likely Win/Nix/Mac or the routers and firewalls, dns, etc. jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Midrange Systems Technical Discussion'" <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 3:42 PM Subject: RE: Alternate to iSeries > There is no CL required and no reporting, query or other type of utilities > like that.
