Allow me to spin the question ever so slightly: PC Server Hardware (like Dells) --OR-- IBM p-Series Hardware?
We are in the planning phases of a TSM rollout and our consultant is pushing us towards the p-Series line (somewhere in the neighborhood of a 550). We are deploying in a pretty large environment, so it sounds justifiable. I suppose I am looking for a "second opinion" of sorts, just to make sure we're getting the best bang for our buck. Thanks!

Since we have to test the Dell server with Linux OS for TSM server, I have listed questions. What size of the Dell server's are folks deploying 6850 or 2850 ? How many CPU ? How much Memory ?
