Re: [Reactor For CF] Reactor with DB2

[Jared Rypka-Hauer]

Ryan, Y'all must have an old AS/400. Near the end of it's life-cycle, the AS/400 family had some sleek little workgroup servers and some mini-class machines that were just gorgeous. I also understand that it will run multiple instances of AIX out of the box, and CFMX 7 will run on AIX... in other words, if you have access to an AS/400 from the early-mid 90s, you just may have a kick-ass CF cluster server (development, anyway... not so sure of the production performance of instances of CF running on virtual instances of AIX?) sitting there and never even knew it. Anyway... I just wanted to make sure you knew a bit of history cuz the 400 is one of the Ultimate Machines of the late 20th century in my book. Some of the technical innovations that IBM used were hott. The last couple years they even messed around with the AS/400's case, selling them with transparent plexiglass sides and launching the "designer pc" craze that nauseates so many of us to this very day ;).

Doug, when he is talking about an as/400, hes talking about the machine / OS that the db2 is running on more than likely.  Its basically a very big, and very very expensive database server, used primarily for monetary transactions and extreamly large databases.  He could be running his cf on there, but I doubt it, and it wouldn't give him much benefit if any at all. Adrian, are you going to be using an as/400 soon or were you just curious about the db2 support in general?
