RE: Change to Intel server

["Albritton, Henry" <Halbritton at nsu dot edu>]

Hello:
 
We are looking at various options for server consolidation (sharing),
virtualization, and the possibilty of an  Intel-based server to host our
Innopac. It currently runs on an IBM RISC6000/7044 with the AIX 4.3.3.
 
I look forward to see what others are planning. My main objective is to
investigate ways to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) associated with
standalone servers.

	Dear all
	
	
	
	We are intending to upgrade our Innopac server, and are considering
	switching to an Intel-based server. We currently have a Sun server
	running Linux, and use the proprietary Innovative database structure
	(i.e. not Oracle).
	
	
	
	We would be interested to hear from any sites using an Intel-based
	server, with respect to reliability, configuration issues, etc.
	
	
	
	Many thanks in advance
