randomErr's Journal: Ready for Big Iron Windows?

Having conquered the consumer desktop space, Microsoft has spent the last decade trying to muscle in on the enterprise market. With the release of Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, Redmond hoped to have finally evolved a server operating system that could mount a serious challenge to the dominance of the big UNIX vendors. Yet after its release in 2000 it failed to catch fire.

That may well be changing, however, due to the marriage of Windows 2000 Datacenter server and the Unisys ES7000 Server. For the first time, Windows has found a hardware partner that can give it the scalability, reliability and availability to rival Sun and IBM systems, and at about half the cost.
