Discussion with Red Hat's Joel Berman and Nick Carr - 1st take

nice try , attempting punching below the belt.: "They learned years ago that it was wise to implement Windows-based applications as a set of functions and assign each function to a specific server with either Windows NT and with Windows 2000."

Ten to fifteen years back, the processing capability of x86 processors limited Windows capability
exampe
a) being 32 bit did not allow addressing capabilities of more than 4GB.
b) x86 were at max 2 processor machines.

However if a large task is to be handled, distributed computing is a better solution than getting a mainframe.

Now that processing power of any processor is an overkill or many enterprise applications and hence you find interest in virtualization to consolidate servers.; Posted by: zzz1234567890 Posted on: 04/09/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
