Re: Microsoft .NET frontending IBM i

You'll spend nearly half a million on salaries just to keep your sprawl under control, not to mention feeding and cooling the hardware.
Feeding and cooling the hardware was not part of the amount mentioned in the article. That was just the starting fee.



(And please note I am not advocating against the IBM i. My point is just that it is cheaper to be able to scale horizontally with commodity hardware than needing to scale vertically with high-end hardware)

Actually, I've considered if Terracotta could be useful to add cpu-power semi-transparently to a JVM running on the IBM i without going full Java EE.
