Ja niinhän siinä sitten kävi että 110 miljoonan asiakkaan tiedot pöllittiin.

Vanha järjestelmä:
Solution
In 2004, Target joined the Microsoft Technology Adoption Program (TAP) for virtualization and found the solution it was looking for. During the TAP, the Microsoft team worked closely with Target Technology Services team members to virtualize the Linux-based pharmacy solution and run it successfully in a Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 environment. “Microsoft was pretty creative about developing a virtual machine edition for SUSE Linux for us,” says DeBrine. “So the first virtual instance in our stores was actually a Linux virtual machine, and it worked great. We deployed that solution to approximately 1,500 stores.”
Sitten siirryttiin uuteen:
Target’s participation in the TAP program absolved the company from having to buy new hardware for its pharmacy applications and was the catalyst for Target choosing a Microsoft Virtualization solution for every one of its retail stores in the United States. However, Target Technology Services did due diligence in investigating alternative solutions. “We looked at VMware ESX Server in 2005, and part of the conversation was around the price of deployment,” says DeBrine. “Instead, Microsoft gave us everything we needed in a virtualization solution at lower cost. Given the pharmacy server experience, we knew Microsoft would be there for us, so we chose a Microsoft Virtualization solution as a key cost-optimization strategy for Target moving forward.”
Over the next three years, Target increased its Microsoft Virtualization footprint in all the stores by virtualizing three additional workloads on Virtual Server 2005. These new virtual machines housed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 data management software and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. By the time Microsoft released the Windows Server 2008 operating system with Hyper-V virtualization technology in February 2008, the only remaining workloads running on their own physical servers were the POS and asset-protection solutions.
Bottleneck Solved
Joo todellakin - pullonkaula ratkaistu. Rahat rosvoille!

On vähän Windows peelot vaikeena. Yrittävät miettiä miten päästä koukusta irti.
Mikkosotkun Hyper-V oli totisesti ihan veee. :)
Kunnia meni mutta maine kasvoi.
Tässä tapauksessa joku Petteri Järvinen kuittaa katastrofin vain henkilökunnan osaamattomuuden syyksi. Vaikka lopullista totuutta asiasta ei olekaan tuotu sitovasti esille merkillepantavaa on kyllä ongelmien alkamisen eteenkin lopullisen Windows-järjestelmään siirtymisen jälkeen, siis n. 4 vuotta sitten.
Gangsterit rakastavat Windowsia ja suosittelevat sitä kaikille verkkopankin käyttäjille.
Haittaohjelma jota käytettiin Target-operaatiossa oli nimeltään "Dexter" ja se on erikoisesti suunniteltu Windowsia varten.

Windows on kertakaikkisen katastrofaalinen järjestelmä. Vuotaa kuin seula.
