Hi John, My favorite parts are the following. Cheers, Amy J To: blisenko From: rudedog Wednesday, Sep 27, 2000 8:14 PM ET Bob ....One of my clients is a well known financial house headquartered in Switzerland which has, over the last year or so, been moving their systems from Sun / Sybase to CPQ / MS SQL. Guess what - the reliability and manageability of the system is MUCH better on the CPQ / MS platform than on Sun - by an order of magnitude. Not to mention a third the price. This is the real world, not some ivory tower BS. And as far as "getting it right" - the 98.5% field-measured availability of the UE10000 is not exactly something I would be proud of - CPQ will provide 99.99% availability guarantees on Datacenter systems, and of course in their high end systems, provide service level agreements of 99.9999% for some installations. So I believe what I see with my own eyes. Maybe you should open yours. [Rudedog]
