Re: Is the midrange really the right tool for the job here? WAS (Re: Hardware question)

Systems are sold by the applications that run on them.
Not how much disk space they use!

If I want a good ERP system, some of the choices might be designed for IBM i, so I run it there. Even if I don't have 10+ GB worth of data!

But I have to ask... what could you possibly be doing on a midrange
machine in today's world that only needs 9GB of storage? And does that
workload REALLY constitute the money spent on the system? I mean, 9GB of
data today is nothing. So why a whole midrange system when it seems it
will be highly underutilized? Could you/your customer switch to a cheaper
solution for such a light work load? I LOVE the platform, but its not
really ideal cost/value for tiny word loads.
