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
