Aah ! You _are_ looking at moving out of NT. Why I don't think it is an enterprise class platform
1. Much poorer memory management [2GB, memory leaks etc] than Unix. 2. Cannot scale beyond 4 CPUs. I AM surprised that you run a 450 users SAP application on 4CPU, 2GB on NT. Try that with Oracle Applications ! 3. Any patch (e.g. the security patches that come out from Microsoft) requires a reboot of the server. I can understand OS patches requiring a Unix reboot but a patch to MSIE/Outlook/IIS on the same NT-box as the database requiring a reboot of the server ? Unacceptable. 4. I don't know how good Online Backups are on NT.
