Sounds like you've got some good new systems. You should sell your old servers in the paper or set them up running Red Hat. Get us a good CounterStrike server farm going or something....
Wow... I'm guessing that you didn't buy them all for yourself and it's for some company. Those sound very expensive.

You must not install any security updates or service packs then. Any update to windows requires a reboot. Of course, you probably have load balancing and redundant servers, so if done one at a time that wouldn't really matter...Originally posted by: Citrix

Linux. I doubt you'd ever consider going back to MS SQL after seeing just what Postgre, mySQL and Oracle running on Linux can do.What would you suggest for an OS platform to run a 205GB SQL db on?

EDIT: I have no personal experience with databases. One thing's for sure though, a Linux DB is a helluva lot less expensive, and would perform at least as well as MS's products.<< how do you know if you have no experience with db's??
