Subject: Re: Advantages/Disadvantages between platforms running Remedy
MSSQL Advantages:
- Case insensitive
MS OS Disadvantages:
- When things break a reboot is in order, when things really break a rebuild is in order
- c api development typically requires purchasing an MS compiler and learning an MS tool
- Open software sometimes has trouble working properly/reliably and is subject to breaking with MS updates
UNIX Advantages:
- people proficient in unix/linux can actually investigate and resolve issues
- Open software usually works
UNIX Disadvantages:
- expensive hardware
Linux/MS Advantages:
- cheap hardware
Some questions to ask that I can't answer:
- Is clustering more robust in unix/linux environment?
Apart from a technological standpoint, there are other things to consider:
- what skills are at your disposal in your organization?
- what skills do your remedy people have?
