Re: Microsoft .NET frontending IBM i

I am curious though, how many man hours does it take to maintain the
equivalent horizontal scale with Windows? And then with Linux. My
guess would be that the man hours would be much more, and that is
where the $1.43 million becomes more justified. You could easily
require two $50k/yr admins to work on 100 Windows servers to keep them
all jiving. Note my numbers are all in theory, I don't know what the
going rate is for a good admin, nor do I know how many servers it
would take to equal the IBM i config mentioned.
So am I.

To get any idea of what is needed, it is important to know what workload the system to be compared with can handle. I am aware that the IBM i can handle a LOT of concurrent stuff and do it well.
