I have a treasury application that needs to be up 24 x 7 except for
scheduled downtime. Is there any way to guarantee an app
Ron,
my experience has been that it all depends.
If your NT server is being administered by a sane, conservative SA, who does
not treat it like a desktop machine (hey, lets downloaded the latest free
Java tool), then it might suffice.
It also depends on the load you will be asking it to
Possible? Yes.
Likely? No.
Most NT system admins suck. Sorry guys, but it is true. It is a technology
that has been made available and easily accessable, many people (cooks,
waiters, wendy's employees) who are not truely System admins or even
computer geeks have found themselves working as
a design issue, correct? build a robust and resilient environment and you
can have the high-availability you seek. contingencies for x breaking and y
taking over, where x is any viable component; physical/logical components,
applications, memory/memory structures, processor(s)/processes, files,
Somebody should let Dell know. www.dell.com
They run on NT. When's the last time you heard
about their site being out?
A $40 Billion company can't be all wrong about NT, can it?

OK, after
I agree with His Chrisness on this one.
If the avg(NT Admin) avg(Unix Admin), we'd
all be reading this mail on Window's boxes.

but, in all seriousnesswhen there is a way
to find a *very good* NT admin out of all the

Ross,
I've had Dell's site crash on me before, last April right in the middle of
customizing a system. They apologized, but I went with Gateway anyway.

Ross,
Naw, only a city slicker or a dude would say that.
The farmer would have said she never did that before. :)
You know what the farmer said when his cow died?

Geesh, he never did that before.

Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ:
Ron,
I'm going to say that it might be possible with some provisions.
eg - what does 24*7 actually mean in your context:
I believe 99% uptime gives 87 hours down per year
whilst 99.% uptime gives half a minute downtime per year.
Which end of the spectrum are you after?
I
Believe it or not we do run two mission critical 7x24 databases on NT with
few problems. The one system that is 'life and death' critical we run
redundant servers/databases just in case.
