RE: Anybody using a Shark yet?

We are not using it, however we chose IBMs new disk tower and IOPs for the
AS/400, which became available this month.  The Shark is marketed against
the Symmetrix and by reading the tech specs the Shark should be a better
performer.  IBMs other solution for the AS/400, the new disk tower and IOP
should provide a substanial performance improvement over either one of those
since it utilizes a faster IOP than the 6501/6532/6533, more memory on the
IOP, PCI controllers and PCI expansion towers, etc.

Is anyone out there using a Shark connected to an AS/400 yet?

We're using an EMC Symmetrix at the moment, but it will be replaced by
IBM's equivalent "Shark" late september. IBM told us we are *NOT* the
first...
