RE: Found this link

Title: RE: Found this link
Since long before I started working here our company had been a big VMS shop.  Our VMS folks had been very frustrated with everyone else's new clustering efforts in the past five years because VMS had been running true clustering for years.  Many of these people have lots of experience with very robust VMS/Ingres clusters.   We've sat through three or four IBM presentations on AS/400 clustering, each promising something new and better.  Each time we've found that they're basically offering "simulated clustering through replication".   After aggressive inquiry we've been told that these clustering techniques would break down if you ran high volume transaction batch updates.
 
Unless things have changed significantly in the past year or so I don't think iSeries clustering is anything to shout about.  From what I saw it would not have the "Transparent Scalability", "Applications Run Unmodified", or "Easily Add and Remove Nodes" boxes checked either.

Well, they left iSeries out of the comparisons, didn't they?  Wonder why?
