Resumen:A year ago, when Kevin Allard signed on with Time Publishing Ventures (TPV) to direct Sunset magazine's IT operations, he found that the company's primary data processing operations - book fulfillment and accounting - ran on an IBM AS/400 and dumb terminals. Allard wanted to get the whole company connected to e-mail, which meant replacing terminals with personal computers as well as putting systems on the desks of employees who had none. He was also convinced that a client/server system was needed. The problem was that Sunset and TPV did not want to increase the IT budget. Allard decided to jettison the AS/400 and redirect the funds for its care to pay for a new infrastructure. He chose a Hewlett-Packard Co. HP 9000 server to replace the AS/400. Completing the network are 7 HP NetServer PCs running Windows NT, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft SNA Server. On the desktop side, Sunset now supports 450 Apple Computer Inc. Macintoshes and 150 HP Pentium PCs.
