Re: Microsoft .NET frontending IBM i

From: Thorbjoern Ravn Andersen
"So a full 64-core system using the slow processors would cost you
$1.43 million just for the base hardware chassis and the processors."
You can get a lot of commodity hardware for that amount of money for
horizontal scaling....

It should be pointed out that the $1.43 million quote was for old Power 5
hardware; not for new Power 7 hardware, which is lower cost, and higher
performing. It should also be pointed out that we're talking about the cost of
a DB server as opposed to an application server farm. All those application
servers need to interface with a DB server.
