Interesting post... From what I've seen (I'm now retired from the IT business, thank God!), is the movement toward SQL databases on a given mainframe (ALPHAS, IBM, etc), accessed once again by a "Large" server using 3rd party software (which may be modified by the user), such as JAVA and all of its variations (JAVA beans, applets) and finally routed to the end user via (guess what) CISCO routers. BTW, the OS on the server is Win2000. This is the direction higher ed. is turning to. Quite a large change from the old punched card systems I started out with 35+ years ago.
