Re: AS/400 - iSeries uptime statistics

Mike,

Thanks, but looking for something more recent, and something I can point a 
customer to online.

Re: AS/400 - iSeries uptime statistics







Neil,

Do you have the one/two pager from Gartner Group?  It's probably pretty
dated at this point in time.  I had a copy at one point but might have to
do some digging.  My concern is that I think it is relatively dated.

Does anyone have any links (independent research, or even IBM backed)
stating average uptime ratings for AS/400 - iSeries?  Wasn't it something
like 99.97% for a single processor image?  Something contrasting that with
numbers for a WinNt or Win2000 Server &/or 'nix boxes would also be very
useful (I recall one IBM presentation showing something like 99.9% uptime
for NT, and showing how many days a year that meant it was down, vs. how
many minutes for an AS/400).  I believe IBM at one point published
something showing that a single AS/400 - iSeries system had a higher
uptime rating that a 390 mainframe (one not in a Sysplex).

I've found some links, but could use some additional ones.
