That can be done on Windows/Linux systems using virtualization technologies like VMWare and HyperV live migration. Coupled with fail-over clustering you can build reasonably robust systems. The monitoring infrastructure is excellent. Our distributed sysadmin was showing my HyperV and I was very impressed. It's not as good as a full parallel sysplex but good enough for a lot of companies WRT SLAs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
