1) IBM Mainframe for Transaction oriented applications (with relational database and J2EE app. server)

2) eGovernment server infrastructure – Linux/Solaris based systems with relational databases and J2EE app. Servers

3) CMS for government web sites (Typo3 cluster)

4) LAMP cluster for diverse web sites

5) Linux clusters for eMail HUB and Lotus Notes eMail backbone

All together 3 x 430 Amps.

Common government network - HKOM

Government intranet:

800 Locations1600 LAN’s30.000 Users/workstations

1 Gbit/s connection to internet

50 Mbit/s -> traffic to internet 150 Mbit/s <- traffic from internet 0,8 Gbyte/s <-> Input/Output traffic to backbone
