Do you have something or can point me to something that shows comparative metrics for these, especially: --power/cooling --floor space --people --networking hardware (I really don't understand this, since I would have thought the networking hardware would be external to the device) --DR --provisioning --retirement (not tracking on this, too. See places still running IMS, for example) Thanks. -- Rich ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
