Do you have a four core 720 or a 'More core' 720?
If you have a four core machine then you are limited to what you can put
"inside" the machine. This include 8 drives in the front of the machine
and there are some SSD Cards you can put inside.
You may also attach a SAN to a 4 core. This may be what your BP is thinking.
If you have a 'more core' (than 4) then you can attach external disk in
5887 drawers for example.
Lesson for the day class: UNDERSTAND when you are purchasing your
machine what it means when you get a P05 tier system. We ALL understand
the part about "Your IBM i Purchase Price and SWMA are cheaper" but too
often we miss the part about "Your expandability is severely limited."

We have a native document management system. Way back when, it was cheaper to buy a separate Windows server to store the documents, than to add disks to our 810 iSeries. Fast forward to today. Is it still going to be cheaper to buy a Windows server than to add disks to our POWER7 720? Ballpark of 2 TB. This would have to be in addition to the drives we already have in the POWER system.
