Maybe if they already have a SAN. Or if they are of the mindset that SAN
is the only way to go. Can you give an example of any other?
I'm no expert on the SAN functionality of the System i, but as far as
i understood it it has severe limitations:
Please correct me if i'm wrong.
* It only supports attachment of IBM servers, while larger SANs (like
EMC) are vendor neutral
* It only supports low speed Gigabit Ethernet / iSCSI attachment, not
fibre channel or 10GE
* It does not support advanced SAN features like Snapshots,
GlobalMirror, etc. pp.
* System i pricing is insane. EMC's pricing is also insane, but i
still think EMC would be cheaper
