So just had a long meeting with my boss, the owner, about what to do about our System i 520 running 7.1. The machine was bought in 2006. It cannot be upgraded past 7.1, which we all know will be dropped from support as of April 2018. The hardware will be dropped in Jan 2019.
I provided several scenarios, but my final recommendation was to go with a hosted IBM i provider. But, that brings up other costs, specifically license transfer fees of current software. And the boss doesn't want to spend any money.
He has asked me to research 3rd party support to see if we can utilize that beyond April 2018 so we can just keep the machine we currently have.
Does anyone know of any 3rd party support providers for IBM i?
What about a good used hardware vendor? Maybe I can convince him to upgrade to last year's model.
Or a good recruiter?
Thanks
