What other box can say that? 2 or 3 yrs ago the p5 and i5 were the same price. Since that time, IBM has cut the price of the p5 to the point where today, a p5 is 1/3 the price of the i5. What is the business case for running an AIX workload on an i5 that costs $25K when the same workload can run on a p5 for $7K? I was told recently that MySQL AIX binaries can run asis in PASE. Same with PHP even before the official Zend implementation. That is great technology. What is the advantage to using PASE instead of running the real thing, PHP on the p5? -Steve
