RE: AS/400 size guess

The only smallest system large enough to handle 350 attached devices is
probally the 720, IF they are attached via twinax.  Are they?  If they are
attached via TCP/IP a 170 might handle it.

Subject: AS/400 size guess


I have a 720 with processor 2063 feature1504  with 2GB memory.

I am looking to get a fail over machine, I want to get the smallest machine 
that will handle the normal workload of just my mission critical
application.

My CPU averages at only about 15% to maybe 20% and basically almost no 
pageing, when I have just this application running.

I am looking for a machine that could handle this for a realatively short 
period of time, say 12 to 24 hours. It could be running at 90 - 100% CPU.
It would need to have the ability to have about 350 interactive devices 
attached, and would need basically no batch processing during the fail over.


Does anyone have a guess at what size of a machine that this would take to 
run on?


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Chris
