Re: Choosing iSeries-Model for Java

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

since no one else has replied, I will suggest the IBM Workload Estimator.
http://www.iseries.ibm.com/fact/ and near bottom of page is Estimator.
Sounds like not too many users, and a model 270.
Looks like no need for interactive?
Has anyone else used the Estimator, and gotten the machine & been
happy? or unhappy?
