Re: iSeries vs IIS web site

Well ...
what kind of website (advertise only, static, dynamic, customer access, the world at your door..?)
Small, medium or large enterprise - and what is your server infrastructure ?

I think what physical server it lives on is the last question, long after defining
where you are at & where you want to go.

If your site currently built with MS tools and using MS proprietary extensions, you will have an effort to port it elsewhere.
Start with the fact the i runs the Apache webserver, far more prominent in the web world than IIS.
Here is a breakdown of the "software" running the web:

If we knew more about your company & what you need, it would add to the discussion.

Subject: [WEB400] iSeries vs IIS web site

Because our web site is so bad and we do not have anyone to develop it I am trying to convenience management to allow me to pursue setting up our iSeries and developing our web site on our iSeries. The individual in charge of our network is 'talking down' the iSeries as a web server. Is there a web site, white paper or any document comparing the advantages and disadvantages of using an iSeries vs some other web server. I am just starting my research and need as much information as possible to make my side of the argument.
Thanks,Rich Dotson
