7.1 is best bet. Some models and features require 7.1 with Technology Refresh 1. Check target hardware's software requirements!

Honestly if you can get to 6.1 then 7.1 is likely no issue at all. Talk to your ISVs of course but most of them are good to go and have been for quite some time.

You'll want to pay attention to user counts so you don't buy too many, also IBM i License count (yes even on the 'Teeny' systems) and which compilers you really need. You can buy a lot of things you no longer need OR get stuck without stuff you DO need.

If we knew what size system you have and are looking at we could do a better job on questions regarding hardware.

Also what questions should we be asking our reseller? Cole

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
