RE: Help me Justify iSeries

["Jones, John \(US\)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxx>]

And of course my argument about opportunity cost would also apply to the
Windows/PC side as well.  If you've already go the
Windows/Linux/NAS/whatever deployed and it can be upgraded or already
has the capacity available, by all means use it instead of dropping a
couple of grand on the iSeries.

Here, we get so few opportunities to consolidate that we leap at the
ones we do get.  As I buy arms and not space, I wind up with excess
space available.  Adding 10GB or even 500GB of data to my i5 isn't going
to cost me anything additional as the disk is already there.  And as I
mentioned, we've made a conscious effort to put as much EnterpriseOne &
JDE on the iSeries as possible.
