Sadly still nothing that has the same performance/price ratio
such as a System x3650 M2
I was looking at the SAP SD benchmark, just released by IBM, for the new Power Server model 750, and comparing it to the one that IBM released for their x3650 M2 server. The net result was that the model 750 offered 3.34 times more throughput.
My next thought was to try track down pricing information to estimate the price/performance difference. Unfortunately, pricing information is harder for me to come by. The other problem is estimating what it might take in terms of cost to set up and deploy applications across four x3650 M2 servers, and a load balancer, and then tune the configuration to approximate the performance of the model 750?
We're developing a new Student Information System, which may need to support something like 100K concurrent logins from students, parents, teachers, and administrators if licensed by larger school districts. To me it would be a royal pain to have to deploy our applications across x86 server farms. I think that would really drive up the cost of the system, too.
