There has to be a BUSINESS REASON why so many companies insist on spending million$ of $$ to do this. Hasn't anyone ask the obvious question: "Why hasn't IBM caught on, identified the problem and fixed it?"
Just a hunch, but maybe IBM is behind the whole thing. IBM now makes the majority of their money through Global Services, and consolidating 2384 field office servers into a single data center managed by IBM would be precisely inline with IBM's business strategy. The first step might be to support the existing S36 environments at a single secure location, while they migrate the S36 applications to a Web farm, using Websphere Application Server. IBM would love to control an environment like that. Nathan. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
