Re: New 520+ Shipment

No plans for either at this point.  We are entering the HMC world for it's
remote and multi-system capabilities.  We've got 3 boxes in 2 locations
that we want to be able to manage from various points in the network (and
occasionally from outside the network!).

Are  you  using  Capacity on Demand or  LPARing the
box  that  you  are  using an HMC?

BTW your chart of  the systems displays fine if you use no
proportional type  styles like courier.

I'll answer some of them... ;)

The additional MES costs are for rack mounting, rack, additional DASD,

tape

controller, tape library, cords, PDUs, HMC, monitor, etc.  Adds up quick!
The higher figure is with the expansion cabinet and all the extras it
entails.

It will be a 1 CPU 7143 520+ with 4GB Ram, 8 35gb drives, 1200/60 CPW.
Pretty far down the food chain... ;)

It will come in around either $60k or $80k after the added MES items
depending on the disk controller approach we choose (5727 and 5776 in

CEC

or 5727 in CEC and 5580 in an 0595 expansion).

guessing you are the "520 express growth RAID ( 7143 )" - $29,797 list
price.  What would the additional $30-$50K from the base price be for?
 Domino software?  MES that is an expansion box? Is that for the
additional drives?  That is why I ask about the 35GB drives.  PC
drives are much larger. If the drives were 200GB would you need the
expansion?  I understand the disk arms and all but maybe the large
disk cache obviates the need for arms.

Dont mind me. You dont have to go into detail or answer at all if your
worn out :)

( thanks for the chart. It displays well when I copy/paste into outlook )
