Actually, Dennis, it's currently a UNIX shop considering saving money by migrating to NT. It seems like your argument would support sticking with what they currently have.
Thanks,
Paul

Paul - What is the base of experience in this shop? Is it primarily an NT shop and the Unix system is the odd one, or is it primarily a Unix shop and the NT conversion would be a first plunge? Everything I hear depends primarily on this factor. Most indications are that the Unix systems tend to be more reliable, but there are strong NT shops that seem to keep their NT reliability up, and would struggle with the odd Unix system. I assume that you are really talking Windows 2000 at this point. Dennis Williams

Hello everyone,

I'm certain that this is a FAQ, but I thought I would make a request here.

I have a client whose management is requesting us to make a business case for keeping our Oracle on UNIX rather than on NT.

I wonder if anyone can link to or provide any of the following on this subject:

• whitepapers
• platform selection papers
• pro/con summaries to management, no matter how informal

Please help in any way you can, thanks in advance,

Paul
