Re: Uptime Guarantee (Score 2)

I believe that there is a solution with an uptime guarantee in linux. Namely the s/390 from ibm which you can get configured for linux. I am fairly confident that that version is covered by the same uptime gurantees as other operating systems. The cost of a midgrade s/390 might be comparable to running a server farm in nt 4 or win2k given 50 midgrade servers might run you $20,000 each for about $1,000,000 total cost which is conservative considering the cost of buying 50 site licences for back office and windows itself (each run $5,000) leaving you with $10,000 to buy all the hardware and any other software you might be running. P.S. I do not work for ibm
