RE: I am in a Holy War about webserving from a System i

Who's telling you these lies... You know better! :)

Take a 515.. create an app that queries 1000 records... now set up a PC to
do the same.

They'll both be pretty fast.

Now do 1000000 records. 515 is still super fast.. PC seems to be having
issue.. ugh! :)

I've seen it many times. Companies set up a PC for web pages, replicate
data, and test with a few records.. works great. Once they replicate their
million+ records to the PC it chokes on queries and doesn't perform anything
like it did when testing.

So now you've introduced 2 weak links... replication (ugh!) and a PC.

Now, as a disclaimer, I am referring to RPG CGI apps on the 515.

I am hearing that the i5 is slow, setting up a server is difficult,
performance sucks, the security is not what we are used to, and its just
a whole lot easier to use an old PC.

Is the System i a reasonable way to offer an internal website that will
be displaying System i business data as web pages?
