But, can you connect 10,000 dasd up to your PC? Now, as for getting them to understand where a PC or a mainframe makes sense, that is harder. PC people think in terms of 10's of transactions. Mainframer's think in terms of 10's of thousands of transactions. I know of a company that has a table that is coming up on crossing the 2 trillion rows in it mark.
I know another company that does over 100 million inserts a day. As far as hobbling a CPU, if you want it to run flat out then pay for it. I'm sure IBM would rather that all boxes run full speed with all the processors turned on. $$$$$ Chris Blaicher Phone: 512-340-6154 Mobile: 512-627-3803 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of zMan Sent: Friday, March 05, 2010 1:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: z9 / z10 instruction speed(s) distributed folks don't understand issues like "small" volumes (226GB being smaller than the hard drive in my laptop) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
