Budget! Primarily comparing these quotes to hosted company prices.
My boss the owner has put me off of this upgrade for years, and still
doesn't want to spend the money. We have a System i5 520 running 7.1 TR
10. We've already lost support for 7.1 - had to pay the extra extension
fee this year - and IBM is dropping maintenance on the 520 in Jan 2019.
And the boss has asked me look into 3rd party maintenance already; he just
doesn't get it that we are well beyond the "you should just upgrade now"
point!
So, trying to go as cheap as possible. If anyone knows of a good deal on
a used Power8, let me know.
Thanks

Why buy a power 8 with power 9’s on the market?
You’re automatically building in a shorter support lifecycle up front...
