RE: Information on Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM)?

[Mike.Crump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I did some checking and I think the disk prices we have are on par with
IBM's list price for disks for the pSeries.  What I can't get over is that
this is still (even after significant pricing actions) 5x over the rest of
the industry. ( I think the math comes to about $60/GB discounted on the
17GB drives).  I can handle some premium but 5x is hard to handle.
Especially when I can't tell someone that these disk drives are better by
any comparison (based on the spate of quality problems and the performance
capabilities of an individual drive).  What makes these drives better are
the IOP's and systems they are attached to as well as the number of them we
install.

I forwarded your valid perspective to Kim Stevenson yesterday.

Got this back today.

thanks John, we did take significant disk pricing actions so I'll send a
response on this. Thanks
