Re: DASD

Because you can only buy it from IBM.  But it would be silly to look at DASD
prices only.  If your IT manager thinks the cost is in the DASD, you will
have a hard time convincing him that buying a new AS/400 (oops, I mean
eServer iSeries/400, I think?) is a sensible thing to do.  Even if an Oracle
solution would be cheaper when you start from scratch (that is including all
the hardware and software and staff. or, as it so aptly named, Total Cost of
Ownership), moving from AS/400 with DB2 to Oracle would be an enormous
investment.  You would have to save an awful lot on DASD in order to justify
that.
