Editor's Summary:
A family feud may be brewing at IBM since its new AS/400 model 840 with 24 microprocessors in the same box surpasses scalability and performance of some mainframe computers in IBM’s S/390 family. And it’s time, analysts say, for Big Blue to decide whether there’s room enough in town for the both of them. “At this point, the AS/400 Division is beyond its customer base,” says Tom Bittman, Gartner Group vice president of technology and marketing. “There simply aren’t that many customers who need that kind of performance. IBM needs to make a call now whether they want the AS/400 to flat-out compete with the mainframe.” |
