Re: Scalability

These are two very different classes of hardware, and in terms of scalability the S/390 can handle a much larger workload than an AS/400 - iSeries - i5 system.

However, rumor has it that the mainframe will be assimilated into the Power product line in the near future, and you could then make a reasonable comparison, scalability-wise.


At a local user group meeting last month, Dr. Soltis mentioned (if I heard him correctly) that the largest i5 595 out performs the biggest mainframe that IBM builds and that is one of the reasons they will be moving the mainframes to the Power processors. He didn't qualify exactly what he meant by "out performs".
