I would like to present the <br /> following proposal to you. <br /> I recommend upgrading your AS/400 SOS Server to the new AS/400e 720 Server,announced on February <br /> 9, 1999. It offers exciting levels of performance,and outstanding scalable growth,while protecting your <br /> system,workstation and application investment. <br /> As you can see in Table 1,the svstem processor on this machine is four times faster than the one on your <br /> current server. The interactive processor will also provide you with a noticeable performance <br /> improvement,becat:se system tasks will no longer"steal"cycles from the interactive processor. <br /> Available processor uperades for a Model 720 can improve upon either the system workload or the <br /> interactive(green screen)wo:kload capabiiity,which is new for aS/400. By upgrading to this new <br /> system,y�ou will have non-disruptive growth capability,to the largest AS/400e Server. <br /> Table 2 shows the cost to upgade to the proposed AS/400e 720 Server. Also included are conversion <br /> kits to move your existing SOS Server features to the AS/400e 720 Server,and an estimated cost for IBM <br /> Services(to convert your existing Disk ID's to the new system). <br /> Tabl� 1.
