From: "James Rich" <james@eaerich.com> > My boss is getting a new iSeries for about $20,000 (not including > software). If I bought a linux/*bsd capable machine for $20,000 > how would they compare? Both machines would have to run DB2 > for any kind of proper comparison. Has anyone done such a test? > I'm not really interested in TCO but rather raw speed :) For reputable benchmarks see: http://www.tpc.org/ Rochester uses a derivative of the TPC-C benchmark to calculate CPW rating. Unfortunately the iSeries doesn't offer very good price/performance. Applications, TCO, and an integrated environment sell the box. Nathan M. Andelin www.relational-data.com
