Re: Domino using EXTERNAL DASD

[Chris Whisonant <Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also, you can get internal iSeries storage from eStorage, Inc. (formerly 
BCC). The pricing for new dasd is significantly less than what IBM 
charges. You can also get 15k RPM drives that you can use with your 
current PCI architecture so that you don't have to invest in the PCI-X 
IOA's (even though that will help as well).
