Hi Doug: Contact your friendly IBM rep - they have programs that do estimates on this sort of thing, SIZE390, others, too - the more data you can provide to them the closer their estimates will be! David Kreuter
-----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port on behalf of Doug Griswold Sent: Wed 8/18/2004 9:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: z800 performance What kind of performance can I expect out of a z800 with one engine dedicated to linux with 1 gig of ram? I am very familiar with linux on other architectures (mostly x86) and I know what x86, powerpc, and sparc architectures are capable of but I have been unable to guestimate what 1 engine is capable of with a gig of ram. I know this is an impossible question because there is too many variables. But lets say we have a db2 database that is using 60 percent of a dual p4 x86, 4 gig/ram on a high performance SAN and you move this to a z800 with 1 ifl engine and a gig of ram and escon attached starage, what can I expect inperformance increase/decrease.
