RE: Native sFTP?

Go ahead compare them!!!

We run/ran our OE, inventory, billing, web, ect... on a single 570 (3 prod lpars, 1 dev & 2 AIX lpars). In the new paradigm the billing system consists of 3 production sun/oracle servers, each, with more disk, memory, and processors than all of the 570's lpars, not to mention the 6 development servers.

The Xeon X5260 is outdated. Please compare current technology.

I suppose I could turn that around and offer the same advise.
Your reference compared a March 2009 XEON server to a Power server that came out about 2 years ago.

It was the latest benchmark using the i on that list. Yeah, it's not perfect, but it shows the trend. Especially if you compare the cost of these two systems. Intel is definitively faster in releasing new CPUs
- for example, in 2010 a 32nm process refresh of the current Xeons 5500 will be available - using less power, bringing more clockspeed and better performance in general.

And IBM just announced a 5Ghz Power server at the COMMON opening
session, although no benchmarks are yet available.

Yes, and they don't consider cost. Which is important in the real world. Just compare a 20k Xeon based machine with a 20k POWER based machine.
