Wow!  If they are truly running on an 11/780 then switching to a virtual
environment would be a no-brainer.  Not only would performance and
electrical usage improve but it would be easier to maintain hardware wise.
Licensing of the software would be the big issue.  Plus the fact that it
processes $130 million in payroll would give me a bit of pause to make sure
it was running on secure hardware.  Still an interesting article!
