Reminds me of an Internet Call Diversion pilot WorldCom did back in 2000 where Alcatel & some M$ drones brought in 2 very big Alpha servers running NT. These boxes needed to be rebooted multiple times. They were surprised WCOM felt having to reboot these boxes all the time was unacceptable in an environment requiring 5nines availability. Never laughed so hard when I saw the incredulous faces of the M$ drones. We brought in a Stratus based solution and won the project.
