Re: Help, help, help Pleasssssse: migration from NT4 to Solaris
Our shop has just done this. It went very smoothly. We moved from NT 4.0 to a Sun Solaris.What a difference! It is much faster and it NEVER goes down. I was not directly involved with the code modifications but it took about a week to successfuly migrate our source code from NT to the UNIX. There were a few modifications with regard to the consistent use of file names (case sensitivity) and modification of slashes in directory strings. The UNIX file handling from Studio is different and there is a small learning curve in the use of UNIX if your programers are not familiar with this. I have no desire to return to NT as a server for a WEB site.

RE: Help, help, help Pleasssssse: migration from NT4 to Solaris
We're using both. Just started using Solaris 6 months ago. Both have been reliable. It's hard for me to compare the two. The Solaris runs about twice as fast, BUT, we've got a pretty hefty Sun box and a pretty basic NT box. -Original Message- From: Capolinea [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2001 10:39 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Help, help, help Pleasse: migration from NT4 to Solaris Hello to all CF Guru, I was asked by my boss to look for informations in order to migrate a web site from NT4 to Solaris We are running CF 451 US Enterprise on 2 front server and a database Oracle 8i running on another server.

Well, in general, Solaris will serve more hits per doller, but it really depends on the details of you web site, database backend, layering model etc. -Original Message- From: Capolinea [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2001 3:39 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Help, help, help Pleasse: migration from NT4 to Solaris Hello to all CF Guru, I was asked by my boss to look for informations in order to migrate a web site from NT4 to Solaris We are running CF 451 US Enterprise on 2 front server and a database Oracle 8i running on another server.
