Re: ZEND PHP for i5

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Great to see new software ported to the i5.  However I am not a big fan of 
leaving production applications in the PASE environment.  I'd rather they 
be ported to "native".  I've been burnt by applications that ran in PASE. 
Some of the PASE api's were not good for performance.  What happened is 
that the software vendor then left the i5/os entirely.  But that vendor 
was IBM and what interest do they have in i5/os?

I am sure that IBM would not have sold the boxes they have if Domino was 
only supported in PASE.  Instead they did it right, ported it to native 
and sold iSeries boxes to run Domino like hotcakes.  And the iSeries kicks 
butt in the Notesbench tests.

Oh, that product that left i5/os was Tivoli Storage Manager from IBM.
