Re: Upgrade paths

[bstedman@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

IBM's recommended path for a 510 is to a 620.  The "S" designation means
SERVER model, which means it is optimized for just about everything other
than interactive.  But with the new models, the impact of running the few
interactive users does NOT affect the "server users".  They play in totally
separate machine spaces.

I can't think of where you can find this info.  When I was an SE with IBM,
it took a lot of digging before I found someone to explain what the
differences are between the "server"  and "series" models.




I am trying to figure out the upgrade path for a 510.  I think the next
step would be a 600, 620, 640, or 650.  How is the S series different
than the 600 series?  Is the OS enhanced in the S series for file server
use?  Are their any hardware differences?  Is there somewhere on the IBM
web site that I can look for this information?  I downloaded a couple of
PDF files today however, they are just brief overviews of the
information I am looking for.
TIA.
