There is no announced upgrade path from this system.

I'm guessing although it's not announced they would allow you to take the
software to a new box (with the appropriate charges of course) so you would
not lose your investment in this software

Kudos to IBM for finding ways to get a lower cost machine. I am curious if
there is a simple growth path once they out grow 25 users. Is a
different/new server necessary at that point?

The specs look a lot like the P720 we're running, although I don't see
a CPW listing.

Another important spec:

maximum of 25 IBM i user entitlements"

Subject: New loser cost IBM i announced

Recently there's been discussion of a need for a lower cost IBM i -
now we have the S812 -

*New entry-priced model S812*

IBM i support is extended to include a new entry-priced model S812
with i
7.3 TR2 on a P05 software tier. The S812 is a simplified, low-cost
offering aimed at those who want a basic system with i and native I/O
support, and do not have large hardware growth expectations. The S812
features a 1-core,
3 GHz POWER8 processor chip, up to 64 GB memory, six PCIe slots, and
up to eight disks/SSDs in a 2U footprint. As only a single partition
is supported on this server, there is no virtualization of I/O and no
use of Virtual I/O Server (VIOS).

Maybe this will fit the needs of some of us and others.

Regards
Vern
