Re: non database license of IBM i or "application server license"

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

The system will allow you to do normal administrative tasks, to a point, 
so in your example you could do that.  It's like some of the governors 
they put on the systems  awhile back for 5250 except for DB/2.  
Administration OK, normal workload, not so much.

The answer is yes this fits your environment where you have workloads 
separated out quite nicely.

I would want to compare this offering to an 720 four way at a P05 to see 
which is more cost effective ( unless you need more memory than the 
limits on that system ).   In that case sizing could be critical to get 
right.
