In the main DC's I've been in here in ATL (AT&T, Verizon Business, etc.), it is more the oddity to see "big iron" than Linux. Oftentimes you'll pass a cage and see a bix Regatta class or Z system from IBM and to a lesser extent some sort of AS400. The most common Big Iron is Sun hardware and pretty much everything else seems to be Linux and Windows Server.
That's just in my experience, though. --- Jerald M. Sheets jr. On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 10:18 AM, Keith Stokes <kei...@neill.net> wrote: > We have around 120 servers in our data center.
