From: Lukas Beeler My main point remains, that the system is far too slow for it's price point. A machine for 20k should run circles around a pc server for 10k. But it doesn't. And that's the problem.
And the point made here in the list (over and over) is that you're comparing apples to hand grenades. The PC will do fine as a file server, but will be absolutely useless for running 100 OLTP users. Whereas the 520 will easily accommodate 100 OLTP users, but will fail miserably at performing basic file serving tasks. Two different boxes with different characteristics. But if you COMBINE them, one $10K Windows server and one $20K iSeries, you'll end up with the most powerful $30K server in the world. Blinding fast delivery of static data from your Windows machine, with hi-speed sockets communication to the most powerful business rules engine in the world for blazing fast applicaitons. Joe
