RE: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

Number of users matters less than the business requirements.

If you have five users and can run your business on Peachtree, then an
iSeries is probably overkill.  If you have five users but you have 1000
orders a day via the Internet, then you should probably use an iSeries.

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

But our customers don't have 100 Users, more like 5-20. Are you saying
they shouldn't buy a System i?
