Subject: Server comparison
We're in the market for a new IBM Power system, either hosted or on-prem. I have two companies giving me quotes for on-prem:
Quote #1 is for an 8284-21A 1-core, 16GB ram, with 849 usable DASD.
Quote #2 is for an 8286-41A 1-core, 16GB ram, with 849 usable DASD.
Each vendor says the machine in their quote has 9360 CPW.
With all the specs being identical, what's the difference between the 8284-21A and the 8286-41A?
Thanks
