RE: Alternative to IBMi hardware maintenance

[Bob Cagle <bcagle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My biggest concern is not being supported on the software side, since this machine is stuck at 7.1.  I already paid the extension fee this year, which I think I can continue to pay thru 2021.  

Thanks

I was fearful when I went from IBM HW maintenance to ServIT.  The fear was for naught as they have performed admirably for many years.  They even kept
2 disk drives on site so if there was ever a disk failure there were spares already here.
