If this is all VMWare, and the UCS blades have twice as many processors, shouldn't you only need half as many of them? Core count would be the same? -steve

We are switching from IBM servers (x3650-Mx) to CISCO Blades (UCS B200-M3) in our VMware environment. We are receiving pricing from our IBM VAR for the CISCO blades that very high. CISCO blades have twice as many cores than the IBM servers. Boss is very upset about the issue. Does anyone have alternative to TSM clients and TSM TDP for Database which would interface with TSM servers and be less costly?? Your thoughts?? ----------------------------------------------------- Please see the following link for the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee E-mail disclaimer: http://www.bcbst.com/email_disclaimer.shtm
