Best Platform for running Egate, Unix or Windows
Best Platform for running Egate, Unix or Windows
(OP)
Since we started on datagate 3.1, we have been running on hp-ux. We are currently running on egate 4.5.2. We are planning to go to Ican 5.0.4 and SRE 5.0.4 and we are considering using a windows box based on server costs. I have no complaints related to reliablity or peformance on hp-ux boxes. Should I try a windows box or stay with hp-ux.

I run a lot of critical interfaces on AIX. We decided on AIX up front even though the initial cost was higher. We all sleep at night and the interfaces are not a concern. It runs for months on end before I reboot.
My philosophy is if there is an alternative to Windows servers, take it. At least until Microsoft shapes up in the world of memory management and security.

Are you running in any kind of failover mode in AIX and what release of egate are you running?
Thanks again.
