Re: Offload from the AS/400

[John Dorn <jdorn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems that in the original post (long since deleted) that the
customer would be keeping the current AS/400 as the database server
for the new clients.  If this is the case, won't an upgrade to the
AS/400 still be required (especially if DASD usage is over 90%)?
Also, I assume even the best clients cannot process database records
as fast as a native AS/400 program can.  I think it would be in the
customers best interest to to "take care of business first" which
would include upgrading hardware and reengineering critical parts of
the applications before adding new interfaces to their database.  It
is hard to understand how a reasonable person with a successful business
would throw away stability for the unknown.

You don't know what you had until you lost it,
