Just one Wintel box?

Continuing my brief account of replacing a PHP
application with an RPG application, I asked what kind
of computer was hosting the PHP server, which
eventually led to a tour of their temperature
controlled computer room.

In one corner stood a tall rack of Wintel blade
servers accompanied by an array of SCSI drives.  It
turned out that one of the blades was hosting the PHP
server.  Other Wintel servers of various ages were
scattered across a number of tables, most with a
monitor and keyboard.

We visited a large closet where more Wintel servers
cluttered the floor.  My host commented about the
proliferation of Wintel servers at satellite locations
throughout the county.  It took an army of technicians
to maintain them.

In comparison, the small iSeries model 520 in the
computer room seemed rather inconspicuous.
