Re: Informix on NT platform - Impact of 100 to 400+ Users

Hi folks ! In the past few days,I've noticed a lot of negative talk about NT. MOst people have written saying how its not suitable for large networks. I'd like to know some facts, as to whats wrong with NT. Why doesn't it perform well in larger environments ? What features does it lack ? Do the problems stem from it being a database host or a network file server ? How about a hybrid network with unix hosting the database & the network file server on NT ? Please try to list some hard facts . Thanks Chaminda Peries On Tue, 11 Mar 1997, Timothy M.
