Assuming a LAN connection for an ERP is outdated thinking. Our current JDE World ERP implementation is used across North America and what we're rolling out starting next month, JDE/PeopleSoft/Oracle Enterprise One, will be used across the globe. Even the local users aren't local to the system as it's in a separate data center and only has a T1 out. (It will move elsewhere and share a 45Mb link at some point) The apps can be used over dial-up, especially World, but we try to outfit everyone with at least a DSL connection. There will be data feeds to/from some of our .Net systems, but the apps, data, and web interface will all be 100% on our i5. Even the Enterprise One Deployment Server will run on an IXS. BTW, the iSeries was the _only_ platform considered for running Enterprise One. It has been by far the most stable system in our network over the years. That not only includes Windows servers, but the basic network infrastructure devices as well. It also doesn't need clustering support, has lower admin costs, has a smaller footprint (with the i5 generation), and allows better workload consolidation and upgrade capabilities. About the only 3rd party hardware we'll use will be some nifty gadgets that give users in Singapore the same response time as those in San Francisco. John A.

As for data transfer rates, I assume we're looking at "local" machines since we're speaking of an ERP app. I would imagine it all 10MBit if not 100MBit ether, so rates aren't an issue. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President & CEO Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
