Scott,

I may have missed it? What ERP solution do you use - if you wish to
say?

Systems are sold by the applications that run on them.
Not how much disk space they use!

If I want a good ERP system, some of the choices might be designed for
IBM i, so I run it there. Even if I don't have 10+ GB worth of data!

But I have to ask... what could you possibly be doing on a midrange
machine in today's world that only needs 9GB of storage? And does
that workload REALLY constitute the money spent on the system? I
mean, 9GB of data today is nothing. So why a whole midrange system
when it seems it will be highly underutilized? Could you/your
customer switch to a cheaper solution for such a light work load? I
LOVE the platform, but its not really ideal cost/value for tiny word

loads.
