Axton, Thanks so much for the information. The large hardware (M5000) has been "inherited" by our group and will benefit us as I'd like to migrate the client to using the CHG and TSK modules in Remedy. Right now they're using a home grown application which is more of a document repository than a Change Management process application.
I'll look into Solaris zones as they would like to keep everything on the Solaris servers except for the RKM and Mid-Tier apps. ~Antonio On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 2:04 PM, Axton <[email protected]> wrote: > I would suggest that you use the same platform for both production and > non-production.
