Message-ID: <3399@genrad.UUCP> Date: Wed, 6-Jul-83 07:07:57 EDT Article-I.D.: genrad.3399 Posted: Wed Jul 6 07:07:57 1983 Date-Received: Thu, 7-Jul-83 02:57:14 EDT Organization: GenRad, Bolton, Mass. Lines: 13 In configuring a new Vax to unload our overworked 11780, we have specified a second Vax 11780. Some administrators think that we would be better off with two 11750's. They say the 11750 is "newer technology", thus better. They say the 11780 is being phased out. They say redundancy is better. They say shared disks can solve the problem of paying for too much disk space with two systems. As you can probably tell, I favor the 11780 as I have one, it works constantly, goes down only occasionally and DEC fixes it very quickly. So I need some messages supporting my feelings, or telling me that they are right and I would be better with 2 750's. What do you think? If you were making the choice, what would you do? (UNIX is going to be the OS.) Your prompt reply would be appreciated. Thanks. Rob Wood (decvax!genrad!rob)
