I see that point. As Adam pointed out, there was a certification of
websphere last year and the security target is publicly available. I'm
currently reading the MS Exchange evaluation and IBM WebSphere
evaluation and see that with a certain argumentation about our
virtualized platform (Python) we can make the operating system
irrelevant. Still, the TUV does have to approve that strategy. (They'll
be able to answer in January but that's not a problem right now, as this
week I'm still mostly gathering information and preparing the larger
changes.)

Thank you very much for the input,
Christian
