Re: Websphere: a resource hog?

Denis,

           Can you give us specifics "The minimum requirement" on the source
of this, as I have seen 170's running a work load under websphere with out
much effort. Also, if this is an estimator tool, what did you plug into it
??

> We are currently working on an Ebusiness project. We want to use an AS/400
with websphere. I am amazed by the power that this software requires. The
minimum requirement calls for over 950 CPW!!! I mean, we have over 40 AS/400
and none of them requires that much power. I also know that we can run
webshere on an NT box and the required configuration is much less (and would
cost about 75% less ALL included).

so much power to operate. Or is that du to the architecture of the Iseries?
