I always love their "fire sale" specials (3Q & 4Q) ;-)

Last retail price I had on a frame was about £21k though discounts are
available.

3590H. I looked into these, they can be SCSI or Fibre channel. If you
already have SCSI the default upgrade is to 3590H SCSI.
For a few hundred £ more you can have them converted to FC at the same
time you have the upgrade done.
These can be directly fibre attached to the Unix host or to the host via a
switched network but don't forget to include fibre HBAs for the Host in
your budget.

I hear IBM are doing a seasonal special on this very upgrade right now.

Howdy all,

any one have a quick and dirty estimate of what a storage frame runs on a
3494 (retail, gov't)?  My IBM contacts are out of the office today, and
one
of my bosses wants to talk storage planning today.  I have prices for the
L12 and D12.

While I'm at it-- any of you guys with the new H drives-- what do they run
(the FC ones?)

thanks!!
