I have MANY customers running at 100CPW or close. Their applications are feature RICH, and they need only a little more CPW - just a server modernization for new features. To suggest they should depart the platform is ludicrous. With a server that will run their original AS/400 applications, and can also get them to the web without having to add servers, etc, they will be able to run their SMB business for years to come.
I am kind of curious what the CPW would be of the smallest system that could be reasonably made with the least expensive current components? To use an (imperfect) analogy ... Lets say I want a PC (or thin client) to run terminal emulation and web browsing. I can do this with Linux, and some open source apps. But there is simply no way to purchase new hardware that is not ridiculously over-powered for the task. I suspect that this is the case for the System i as well.
