RE: Sizing an i5 system for SAP

There is a sizing document that you can process and run through IBM.
You can work with your IBMer or business partner and go through the
process.

Subject: Sizing an i5 system for SAP

We are looking into implementing SAP on our i5 system (550-8958-7463)...
The plan is to implement GL, Procurement, AP, AR and, Business Warehouse


As part of this project I have been asked how much additional hardware
(if any) will be required to support this software implementation.

Right now I have no idea... The only thing I know about SAP is how to
spell it...

Is there anyone out there who is currently running SAP on an i5 who can
suggest some good questions to ask the SAP vendor? 

I want to be able to ask questions that will eventually lead to an
understanding of how big of a machine we need to do the job.
