Today is Domino Day

And the man from the Redmond side of the argument attempts to justify the “Domino is less reliable than Exchange” argument.
You do open yourself up for pain.
Exchange is, after all, just cc:Mail with lipstick and rouge, and hosted on Access v2 (Jet) database. Now there’s a recipe for success.
Domino – as you well know – supports active/active clustering, optional databases on DB2 (Where *is* that Kodiak release gone?), Offsite DR (where Exchange clustering really struggles), etc. High performance. Common stories of customers hosting 64 GIG databases, on servers with TERRABYTES of storage.
And can do it on a multi-platform, multi-version infrastructure. So if you have a large user base – just host 70,000 users on a big zSeries box (as one of the top 5 banks in the UK have been doing for years.
Compare and contrast. Major Exchange consultancy in london, 100+ users. Exchange 2003 down for a WEEK. These guys are MS published authors for fricks sake ?
Reliable ?
Domino is the Reliable one, and has been for years. Thats why you cant shift it out of corporations. MS just cant replace the Domino application infrastructure model – its too rich, too reliable.
If Exchange is so successful, why are your colleagues in the UK running an “Exchange Unplugged” tour to encourage MS Exchange folks to unplug Exchange 5.5 ?
Didnt Exchange 5.5 go out of free support at the start of this year ?
Exchange is more like that poor sparrow they shot at the Domino toppling event.
Exchange flapped in, made a lot of noise, shit everywhere and died.
