Tim, If we're going to do free plugs here, how about comparing the DS6800 to the HDS NSC55.
Smells like a USP; goes like a USP; has all the functions of a USP; but comes in a rack and stack kit. (and it can virtualise a DS6800 or a FAS-T for mainframe :)) Ron > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Timothy Sipples > Sent: Thursday, 2 March 2006 1:28 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: IXFP No Longer Supported > > How IBM's DS6800 line of storage?
