RE: Help me Justify iSeries

[michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I would think one of the issues would be cost of disk. AFAIK, there's
quite a premium to be paid for iSeries disk over PC server disk. It's
even less cost-effective when you think about the lack of a need for
quick access to the documents. The iSeries performs really well for
OLTP stuff; it doesn't perform near as well as a file server.
