Hello,
I'm about to upgrade to the latest networker and I need to upgrade my
hardware as well, so - what better time to ask :
What's the best platform on which to run networker server these days.
Clients are HP-UX Solaris, AIX, Linux, windows - with oracle, lotus
notes,
exchange, sql-server.
Define "best" anyway you like - best performance, best price-performance,
etc., etc..
I usually like to go with the primary development platform, but I don't
know what that is for networker these days. Do you?
For me, the answer is obvious. Best is the platform that offers the most
NetWorker features, bug fixes, and new releases fastest. Solaris for
sparc. Bottom line is, you need to weigh the expertise you have on staff
heavily in your decision. If you are a Windows shop, then Windows is
probably your best choice unless you want to undergo a major learning
curve in hardware and operating system.
Let's just say that Bill Gates statement regarding "trustworthy
computing" was not made because Microsoft was delivering it already (and
I don't think they do it now).
