In a move that echoes an earlier high-profile migration by the German city of Munich, authorities in the Norwegian city of Bergen have opted to replace existing core Windows and Unix systems with Linux. The two-phase roll-out will see the 20 existing Oracle database servers running on HP-UX that support the City's health and welfare applications replaced with SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 running on HP Integrity Itanium 64 bit servers.
"Presumably the replacement of 100 Window applications servers with 20 Blade servers is the area where you'll reap the most benefit in terms of cost and convenience?"
This point needs to be hammered home every time the MS TCO issue is brought up. Second MS has started to push "Server consolidation" as a major selling point for 2003 Server. The way I see it this is perfect. Let them spend a fortune on education the market to the need of consolidation, then offer a better Non-MS solution
PS TCO is not included in the word list of the otherwise excellent spellchecking feature. Nor is spellchecking for that matter ;-)
