This is not purely an IBM shop. They are running nearly
every OS known to mankind, but mainly OS/2, Linux (Intel
and PPC), Solaris, NetWare, and AS/400. I know it's
awesome, but TSM may not go over well with this crowd.

Not only are they distributed globally, each group is
partial to different technologies. The group I'm doing
the LPARs for doesn't know anything about Linux or the
iSeries. They mainly want a stable box and some Java
apps that can talk to DB2. And, they want to be able to
back up their stuff reliably.

I can pitch the idea of TSM to them, but I'm not so sure
they want to take the budget hit. Thanks!
