An industrial sector customer has requested an IBM System x3755 for a high performance computing application. Pricing is the most sensitive decision factor for this customer. They are looking for an entry-level storage solution because the application needs to access about 12 TB of data, with an expected future growth of 10-15 percent. As this is the only server accessing this amount of data, the customer does not want to have a SAN.
