gmc,,,,,the pc is the nothing part of this deal, tandems from cpq cost 1 million or more and servers are like 100k to 600k
then they have the basic config that cost 25k..
there are cheaper servers at cpq but who wants them.
the strategy now is buy a huge server and then grow into it.
I/S directors have learned that you buy a big server and then don't have to keep changing.
you get at least 20 gig of hotswapple disk drives raid 5,
you get the dlt tape backups, CD rom.
the fastest controllers and nics, you get 200+ meg of mem. maybe just buy one of those 256mb modules..one module<gg>
pc's are just part of the deal......they aren't the real deal |
