  • Subject: What About Price vs. Performance?

"Get thee to the Web".  We've been hearing that from IBM.  But I have
concerns about iSeries price vs. performance for Web applications.

I've been reviewing published performance data recently on a couple of Web
applications.  Both applications were hosted on Intel servers.  Microsoft
Windows technologies were used to develop and host the applications.

I've also been developing OS/400 based web applications lately.  The
problem, is that these Windows based Web applications perform better than
mine, and on systems that cost 1/6 that of mine.  The complexity of the
applications, and the size of the HTML responses, are comparable to mine,
but the hardware/OS price vs. performance is better by a factor of 7 to 8.

So, how can I expect the iSeries to compete as a Web application server?

Thanks,

Nathan.
