But, I want to make a note. Since the invention of AS/400 which is the ancient system i, the world understand and no doubt about it's strength in I/O, interactive transaction processing capability and availability. The AS/400 users didn't now and of course doesn't need to know what technology inside there. All they want is processing power, stability, availability and of course virus resistant. In short I can say : it is up whenever I need it. But what happened now ? The System i seems like pushed very-very hard in the market by x86 system which going stronger and stronger. and System i try to accomodate with everything inside the box like java, php, mysql, linux on LPAR, what else ?.... one simple question : when we implement Linux on LPAR, there is some percentage processing overhead, and some processing power waisted. is it worth ? And for some other feature that "new" to System i as result in evolution to face the challenge from other architecture, does system i perform better ? For me, it is crucial because as long as I know, system i users willing to pay more for system that perform better from others. At least, at the area as I mentioned above. Regards.
