Long live legacy systems

Over the last four years, the bank decided to centralise every branch to Munich. This includes certain parts of London, NY, Paris and Japan.

At London, we run the last AS/400 which is so heavily bespoked that they can't port it over without massive costs.

Over the last year, the Munich servers have been down 12 times ... compared to the AS/400 which has gone done .. let me see.. nil.. In fact, our AS/400 last went down 3 years ago and only once in the last 8 years.

Today however, something has happened that I've never come across. All the servers in Munich (except one AS/400 that is a DR machine for London) are down and in fact, they have gone to DR.

According to our records, in the 20 years of using System38/AS400s we have NEVER been to DR.

One up on legacy technology!!

Here's to the AS/400 - the most reliable system in the world - EVER!!
