Hi Mitch,
Am about to chat with Raj Datta tomorrow.
The more stories I hear about consolidation the more encouraged I am.
Just makes sense.

Hello again:
I am in the U.S. (Central Time Zone), so reach out at your convenience. I
recently returned from Australia where I was involved in a government project
to migrate 20 data centers into 2. This type of project is not new to us,
obviously.

Subject: Re: Municipal mainframe practical (what I meant to send)
Also recommend you contact both the IBM people who chimed in. Not me -- I'm
in
Singapore and may be groggy when you call at your reasonable time. :-)
However,
to give you a few more lines of investigation from afar....
1. What are they
running on those Windows-based servers (and on any other
servers)? What sort of
applications (in terms of runtimes, in particular)
and middleware
products?
2. If there are 7 municipalities, and (by implication) 7+ primary
data
centers, are there are also at least 7 secondary (DR) centers? Or is
DR
inadequate?
3. Are the 7 municipalities providing services 7 different
ways -- they
have 7 different applications for substantial the same service, in
other
words? With 7 different application development and/or support teams? Or
do
they have substantial agreement on applications?
The answers to these
questions (and a few others) would be helpful in
trying to understand "better"
and "best" alternatives, if
any.
