Without cd rom and tape drive you will have a real hard time loading software and ptf's (plus backup once in a while may be nice)! -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Steve Richter Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 12:03 PM To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com Subject: 270 quote My partner and I are considering the purchase of a model 270. Here are some of the numbers we are being quoted: The base price, basically just for the cpu: 270-2248 ( 150 cpw, 25 interactive cpw, P5 software group ) $6,800 270-2432 ( 1070 cpw, 0 interactive, p10 software group ) $10,700 The base price for these models does not include any minimum dasd or memory. Here are some hardware feature prices: 3022 128MB main storage $1024 4317 8GB dasd $1400 4582 4GB qic tape $1300 4838 100MBPS ethernet $900 4525 CD-ROM $415 Extended maintenance ( not sure what that is ) 270-2248 $111 per month 270-2432 $268 per month Software 5722-WDS Websphere dev studio P5 - $3650 P10 - $8200 5733-SM2 prepay software subscription P5 - $1168 P10 - $3893 Grand total Forget the 10,700 and 6,800 base number. The 2248 is close to $20,000 and the 2432 is over $28,000. ( not counting hardware and software support ) Some comments and questions: The only difference between hardware prices of the different model 270's is in the cpu. That looks to be about $4000. So the P5 2248 ( 150/25 cpw ) is $14,500 for hardware vs $17,900 for the P10 2432 ( 1070/0 cpw ). The extended hardware maintenance looks to be a hidden charge on the faster 2432. $268 per month vs $130 on the 2248. What is the story with WebSphere? This is a real show stopper. Looks like the only way to get rpg ile is to pay $8200 for the total 5722-WDS package!! Is that true? Do we need, have to get the $3893 software subscription? We are local contract programmers and could live with v5r1 for the life of the system. Will an upgrade to v5r2 be another $10,000 without it? No way do I want to pay $415 for a cd rom drive and $1300 for a tape drive. Any alternatives?
