Re: Dell Server for TSM Server ?

FYI
My preference is the p-series for AIX it does more work and very
flexible for TSM,
I would use the p 570 and use LPARS for the TSM Library Manger if I had the
choice of machine to deploy for TSM.
As I am running currently in our TSM server farm of 3 P-series machines (p
630, 6H1, and an older M80) all AIX 5.300-03.
Great TSM servers,but other have decided that it is time to deploy another
venders machine to save on cost.
We are backing up 4.5 to 5 TB each night with about 100 RMAN for Oracle
backups using TDPO.

Allow me to spin the question ever so slightly:
PC Server Hardware (like Dells) --OR-- IBM p-Series Hardware?
We are in the planning phases of a TSM rollout and our consultant is
pushing us towards the p-Series line (somewhere in the neighborhood of a
550). We are deploying in a pretty large environment, so it sounds
justifiable. I suppose I am looking for a "second opinion" of sorts,
just to make sure we're getting the best bang for our buck.
Thanks!

Since we have to test the Dell server with Linux OS for TSM server, I
have
listed questions.
What size of the Dell server's are folks deploying 6850 or 2850 ?
How many CPU ?
How much Memory ?
