Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measure-
ments and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled
environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary
depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming
in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration,
and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that
an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the
performance ratios stated here.
All performance information was determined in a controlled environment.
Actual results may vary. Performance information is provided "AS IS" and
no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM.
Photographs shown are engineering prototypes. Changes may be incorpo-
