There is a discussion here to either do completely away from UniVerse to SQL because 99% of our servers are windows applications and our network administrator doesn't know much about Linux and believes because we have to open up telnet for UniVerse and an old application on a Solaris box of Mumps that we are making the Linux less secure and that PCI requires we don't use telnet at all. We use SSH to login everywhere except for the communication between UniVerse and Mumps.
As a stop gap the company may switch from Linux to Windows. I thought I remembered a discussion on this sometime in the last couple of years. I'll search the archives. In the meantime, has anyone have an experience with this? If so, did the costs stay the same, go up, go down. Any difficulties? Seems like it would be the same procedures as we had to run when we was transferring data from our live server (linux) to our old test server (Solaris), you had to do funxi on the data and that was that. They are in the process of getting comparison costs between UniVerse and SQL now. For those with both UniVerse and SQL experience, how does the development time differ. To me it appears that it takes the VB and SQL folks longer to get changes done then it does on the UniVerse systems. If we switch, it seems to me that the quick fixes users demands will be pretty much going away. Am I correct on this? I am 99.9% certain that the switch will happen at some point in the next few years.
