The ‘Big Iron’ (proprietary UNIX) backends that RBS have went in at Y2K

The ‘Big Iron’ (Proprietary UNIX) ‘backends’ that RBS have went in at Y2K.

If they did not at that time ‘afford’ or budget for duplicate test environments then I am aghast.

All European banks worth their ‘salt’ were putting in duplicate mirrored sites at Y2K as the ‘mirroring’ became technically viable and affordable at that juncture.

I know I did out in Europe and we never had a crisis such as RBS are facing at this moment.

The investment was most likely made then by RBS/Nat West merger, may have been sacrificed by some ‘plonker’, ‘wan.er’, banker with mud for a brain to make supposed savings.

Chuck all of them in the ‘tip’ and get the Treasury back it’s money in this austere time.
