I'm wondering if anyone out there has done a server consolidation using an IBM i or Power system. The company I work for has an IBM i5 model 520 which they want to completely get rid of. The IBM will be replaced with a bunch of Windows servers and all of the in house developed software will be replaced by canned Windows software. The Executive Director has it in his head that he wants to move to "Cloud Computing" to save money. As it is now it looks like we may be going with an internal cloud. The reasoning for moving away from the IBM i is none of the colleges in the state of Maine are teaching anything about IBM midrange platforms, so the future doesn't seem to be with the IBM i or Power system. Another reason is all the canned software that is out there for our industry (Healthcare) is all windows based. Would the agency save any money if they looked at server consolidation with say a Power 7 system? If so, where can I find out more about it and any possible cost benefits? I tell you I'm going to miss our IBM i when it goes.
