Mary Kay Trims Servers, Taps Windows Mainframe | |

Kregg Jodie knows exactly how well commodity hardware handles added demands. As CIO of Mary Kay Inc., the $1.3 billion direct seller of cosmetics and beauty products, he built the company's entire electronic commerce effort on servers made by Compaq and Dell and software from Microsoft. Hardware that automatically balanced demands made it possible for Jodie's team to grow the company's online operations incrementally and take advantage of the relatively low cost of Windows administration and development—up to a point. | ||

| It's interesting to read about companies that have deployed the ES7000. A somewhat expensive solution, but it's really cool. |

| I must say this is pretty interesting... I'd love to see the price tag on something like this though. |

| I heard that the Datacenter system is over a million dollars... |

With the ES7000, that would not surprise me terribly.
Similar servers from Sun, HP, etc. cost about the same. |

I wonder if this article has anything to do with the fact that there is a Mary Kay convention in Texas going on now.
(note, I only know this because I go to church with a very outspoken, Mary Kay sales person). |

actually you can get a really cheap version configured for about 600,000 .. but you really need about a million for kickass box.

| Welcome to the big leagues MSFT. Any cost savings you can bring with you, would be appreciated. |
