The Hole in Cerner's Logic



Comments in a another thread turned a light on in my head. I can't make it go
back off, so maybe I have found a(nother) logic error in my own software, maybe
not.

O.k. So, Cerner is dropping VMS in favor of HP-UX because of the whole Oracle
thing. Fair enough. No one's got the balls to turn up the heat under Oracle, so
that's going nowhere.

....but: that does *NOT* solve the I64 SuperDome performance and scalability
problems.

I64 SuperDomes still perform abysmally compared to, say, Power-5.

So, in essence, this really is no justification. VMS and HP-UX have the same
limitation from that perspective, rendering Oracle a moot issue.

....or am I getting into the advanced stages of cerebral melt-down?
