We're looking at this issue also.
Would people on Microsoft server OS's kindly reply to these questions?
OS/release? (NT, W2000)
Configuration? (clustered, replicating,...)
Processor(s)?
Memory?
Disk capacity, configuration?
Database size?
Max concurrent users?
Avg concurrent users during business hours?
Up time?
How often do you need to reboot?
Remedy applications (Help Desk, Asset Management, custom...)?
Satisfaction level?
Thanks,
Jim.

settle it a little.
With the advent of Win2k, MS finally has, IMHO, an operating system that
will stay up longer than it takes to walk away from the server, without
having to have it really finely tuned (OK, NT 4 SP5+ wasn't bad,
either). Both UNIX and NT will work fine (I've worked much on both) if
properly configured, and will crash a lot if they aren't.
So the only real issue I see any more is that of scalability. UNIX is
still (again, IMHO) the only real solution for a very large (we're
talking General Motors large) Remedy implementation. Most of the rest
of us should use whichever can be the better supported, and therefore
the more accurately configured, at our installation.

Rick,
Here we go again,
I take no offense to any of the responses either side.
My question is simple, Microsoft has a web site dedicated to showing the
world that MS SQL is world-class with support for huge terabyte databases.
i.e.: Article from Microsoft's web site:
http://newscenter.verizon.com/proactive/newsroom/release.vtml?id=56629
Verizon:
Platform Supporting Customer Service and Web Sales Linked as 9-Terabyte Database; Cuts Transaction Time By Consolidating Access to Records
MY QUESTION, what kind of boxes do you think they are using?
Regards...Gidd

You could check out tpc.org and look at the situations there. Everyone who
submits a project for consideration needs to include a full disclosure
report that can be very valuable. Have a look.

Adam,
I guess my humor is lost, there is no real point to my post.
BTW, didn't IBM just steal the tpc award from MS/Oracle with
their latest release of DB2 ? Should it be DB2.xx ????

You could check out tpc.org and look at the situations there. Everyone who
submits a project for consideration needs to include a full disclosure

Rick,
Here we go again,
I take no offense to any of the responses either side.
My question is simple, Microsoft has a web site dedicated to showing the
world that MS SQL is world-class with support for huge terabyte databases.
i.e.: Article from Microsoft's web site:
http://newscenter.verizon.com/proactive/newsroom/release.vtml?id=56629
Verizon:
Platform Supporting Customer Service and Web Sales Linked as 9-Terabyte
Database; Cuts Transaction Time By Consolidating Access to Records
MY QUESTION, what kind of boxes do you think they are using?

Rather than perpetuate the jihad between MS and UNIX, I'll attempt to
settle it a little.
With the advent of Win2k, MS finally has, IMHO, an operating system that
will stay up longer than it takes to walk away from the server, without
having to have it really finely tuned (OK, NT 4 SP5+ wasn't bad,
either). Both UNIX and NT will work fine (I've worked much on both) if
properly configured, and will crash a lot if they aren't.
So the only real issue I see any more is that of scalability. UNIX is
still (again, IMHO) the only real solution for a very large (we're
talking General Motors large) Remedy implementation. Most of the rest
of us should use whichever can be the better supported, and therefore
the more accurately configured, at our installation.
