I would recommend a single-core 8203-E4A box, you will be amazed how
inexpensive this box is, and how lightening fast it will be. You will
probably want to get at least 4 disk drives (don't do less because of
capacity, you need ARMS). I would use the 810 as the DR box. If you need
any additional information, just send me an email.
You didn't say what release of the os you are on, but hopefully you are on
at least V5R4M5.

Subject: Contemplating and Upgrade....
Our CFO mentioned that it was time to start looking at an upgrade to our
box. We have a model 810 with 387 gig of storage. We rarely use much of
the processor but we are an interactive shop primarily. We run JDE
financials, Loan Servicing software and lots of home grown code.
What would our path be from here ? We own this box, plus an 820 as a
D/R box (and and old 510 & 150 if anyone wants parts ;-). I'm just
trolling around before we go talk to the Business Partner. I would like
to have some knowledge before he tells management what they should have.
If there is a book to read, point me at it !
Thanks,
