We are looking at purchasing a Sequent system and I would like to get a realistic estimate of it as a compute server and file server as compared to some systems we have. The configuration we are looking at is 16 386 processors, with 128 MB memory and 2 GB disk. (Yes, the 486's would be much faster, but we are being offered a great deal.) All our terminals would access it via terminal servers on an ethernet LAN. Can anyone compare that to what Pyramid has to offer? We have a Pyramid 9815 (with 32MB memory). Or what about equivalent processing power in a Sun SPARCstation environment? Thanks.
