Humbly report - SI, Microsoft NT and UNIX - in Jeff Dryer's words: Message 777843 ______________________ From: Jeff Dryer <jeff@techstocks.com> To: 'Mike Voorhees' <mvoor@hydrosystems.com> Subject: RE: Silicon Investor Date: Sun, 2 Feb 1997 13:16:39 -0800 Mike, Your words certainly ring true. Microsoft NT is not a stable platform for running a website on. However, because our resources are limited, it is not possible for us to run the site on UNIX. To run SI on Unix would cost several million dollars a year versus several hundred = thousand dollars a year. SI is the largest NT site on the Web serving about 2 million page views per day. We are working very hard right now to do the impossible...to create an NT system with almost zero downtime and unlimited expansion potential ...
