I'm curious - does your analysis include the number of busses available? I
know that the pSeries has quite a lot of busses to drive all of its adapters.
I'm not as familiar with the xSeries, so I don't know if there is a model
available that has a comparable number of busses. It's not just the speed,
it's the overall throughput that most concerns me. Sure, I could have more
smaller xSeries servers, but then I would have more resource baskets to manage.
Thanks for sharing.
