Re: Alternate to iSeries

If this fellow is truly concerned about the iSeries ability to resist 
hackers, you should take him over to San Francisco and have him talk to 
IBM'ers there, or arrange a trip to Rochester. How many banks just in SFO 
alone are running iSeries? You can probably start with B of A and work 
down from there. Bank of Hong Kong is the largest iSeries shop in the 
world if I'm not mistaken. How about ADP? Lots of insurance companies, and 
so on.

With all due respect, those applications are more sensitive than yours ( I 
remember doing contract work there about 10 years ago).

The owner of CrossCheck has asked me to find an alternate platform to run
our authorization system on.  It is an in-house grown RPGLE application.
Does IBM offer an RPGLE compiler for their pSeries systems?  We will still
have our current iSeries based system but also offer a second system 
running
with a different OS.  The owner feels that if terrorist were to ever hack
iSeries and bring then down world wide, we would still have our secondary
system running.  He does not like any single point of failure, which is 
why
we have two locations across the US.  What other systems can I run DB2 and
RPGLE on?

Ok quit laughing 8-) he is serious.
