Another One Gets Away
Okay, I leached this off Groklaw, but wow: University's Linux migration cuts costs and boosts SAP performance
I love this part:
The university decided to migrate to a two-tier system, with the SAP application tier on HP Proliant Servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux after the performance of its system had slowed following two upgrades.
"Two upgrades"? SP1 and SP2 perhaps?
After the migration to Red Hat Linux the payroll run-time was reduced from 80 minutes to 12 minutes, and users were able to work normally during the run. The use of commodity application servers meant the project costs were much lower ...
80 minutes to 12 AND users could work normally while it was crunching.
Microsoft is furiously building higher walls on ground that is crumbling away beneath their feet.
Good riddance, bastards.
