Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have two situations that FreeBSD could used. However, I don't have enough knowledge of what is available in the market place to know if it is a good fit. Please would anyone recommend possible software solutions on FreeBSD to me. TIA. Situation 1) Currently NT with Oracle and Netscape Enterprise server. The functionality used is the following: Java Application running as a server process, Ansi compliant SQL used against Oracle, HTML and Java Applets served up in HTTP by Netscape. Situation 2) Currently NT with Oracle, Netscape Enterprise server and MS Exchange with Internet Gateway. The functionality used is the following: VB. Application running as a server process against the Exchange server (reads messages and translates them into database inserts), Ansi compliant SQL used against Oracle, HTML and Java Applets served up in a HTTP by Netscape. The VB. App is fairly simple and uses MAPI to gain access to Exchange. Is there something similar that could be done on FreeBSD. In both cases, NT performance has proven to be very costly. Both systems must scale from 5 users to 300 users based upon the installation. While NT can handle this, the cost has become prohibitive for many of my clients. They also complain of reliabilty.
