Re: OS/400 command set

Adam,

How many customers do you have that are in the market for an
i890,16-way? Hell, I would love to oneday see stats on how on of the
middle order systems performs. You know, one of those that the majority
of customers purchase. Just so that the customer could relate to it a
bit better.

Cheers.

Jan.

Those benchmarks are essentially crap and just show what it can handle (if
you get a 16 way iSeries).  It shows nothing about efficiency.

For example, are those numbers REALLY all that impressive if another box
could do 3,000 simult connections, but with half the harware (not saying one
can)?

October 8, 2002 ? IBM    iSeries 890, combining IBM POWER4 processing

power

with mainframe-class technologies, demonstrates its excellent performance
for mission-critical e-business applications with the latest SPECWeb99 SSL
and SPECWeb99 benchmark results. SPECWeb99 is the Standard Performance
Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) benchmark for evaluating the performance of
Web servers.

In early September, a 16-way iSeries 890 set a new industry record in
SPECWeb99 SSL Benchmark tests by reporting 3,600 simultaneous secure

socket

layer (SSL) connections.



Also in early September, the iSeries 890 achieved excellent results in the
SPECWeb99 benchmark testing using the HTTP server (powered by Apache) to
sustain an impressive 12,900 simultaneous HTTP connections.
