Re: new cume out for 7.1

Honestly, if it were me...

I'd consider a multi-tenant solution if I only had 5 users...

That should be cheaper than a single tenant LPAR. Don't know if the doc
offers that.

And that assumes your application would work in that environment.

Absolutely agree with this logic.
Give me a call if you are interested. We can provide i 7.1 2 or 3 and for
5 users you're talking a very small slice of a machine! Then it's no lease,
no purchase, no tapes, etc. Really can be very cost effective. Our
infrastructure is focused on this very small size customer.

Have you looked at cloud based options?

We still pay for support. Problem is the i5 520 is still performing just

fine for my 5 users. We've never really taxed the machine.

Fact is our sales are currently not good, so a $40k+ upgrade just isn't
in
the budget. And yes, I've offered leasing options.

Thanks

I would be one of those - stuck on a i5 520. Boss won't spend the money

to upgrade.

So I take it the boss doesn't spend money for maintenance either? Your
shop goes without support from IBM?
