Re:IBM, anymore trustworthy in this? (Score 1)

Suppafly, you've got it backwards. Windows is the primary platform for Domino (something north of 70% of all Domino shops run their Domino servers on Windows), and historically, AIX (actually, all Unix flavors) are the port. More recently, IBM has done dev on both Windows and Unix simultaneously, but the primary code base comes from Windows. As for scalability, there's a site you should check out called www.notesbench.org. As the name implies, you'll find benchmarking info there about Domino. Understand what you're reading -- compare benchmarks running the same workloads (i.e., don't compare an R6mail benchmark with an R6iNotes benchmark -- two different beasts); always divide the number of supported users by the number of partitions (partition = logical instance of a Domino server), so a benchmark with 125,000 supported users on 27 partitions is really about 4,600 users/Domino server, not 125,000; always look at the cost/user (which is a simple calculation of cost of the configuration tested by the number of users benchmarked, not an estimate of operational costs) -- if it says "N/A", then, according to the guidelines of the notesbench consortium, the configuration cost over $1million (because if your config is over $1M, you are not required to report $$/user). What you'll find if you spend some time there reading and understanding the benchmarks, you'll find that Windows is the most scalable Domino platform, and the lowest $$/user, with only a few exceptions...
