For financial transaction processing, and the customer's accounts?
Yes. Go and visit the London City and check their computer rooms.
You will be surprised about the number of UNIX boxes. You don't
think IBM, HP, Sun etc sell their UNIX machines just to ISPs or..?
I hope it's not my bank..
It might very well be your bank..
I'm sorry to say it, but there is a lot of mainframes a quite few unix
boxes in the central accounting and transfer departments.
remember that there are a shitload of Cobol Mainframes that are still
used by a lot of banks..
Sure. But that does not mean there are not a lot of UNIX machines carrying
high-value financial data in the banking world.
What we forgot: there are quite some Tandem boxes too, for things like
dealing rooms and ATM networks etc.
this is a FreeBSD vs Linux MySQL performance thread. not a pissing
