I've got a new measure for how long it takes to upgrade Domino.
One of my customers was upgrading one of their servers this afternoon. They gave me a call just as I was leaving to walk down to their office for a regular afternoon visit that I make. They mentioned that they were just starting to upgrade the server.
By the time I arrived, the upgrade was finished and the server was up and running.
So now I've got a new measure for how long it takes to upgrade a Domino Server:
It takes about five blocks.
Which I reckon is pretty neat.
**Update**
In the short time since I posted this blog entry, it has received a lot of hits. I feel a touch guilty that such a flippant entry is attracting so much attention. My postings usually contain more hard information than this one. However, the example I give is important. Does your CIO know how easy it is to upgrade Domino? Do they realise that in the world of Exchange the concerns are overwhelmingly about the cost and complexity of Exchange upgrades? See here.
If your CIO don't realise this: should they? After all, the cost of ownership is a 'bread and butter', 'live or die' issue for CIOs. They deserve to know when they're running a good system with a low TCO.
