Re: IBM i Hosting

It’s not how much it pulls normally, it’s the peak that holster need to be concerned with. It largely depends on the cards in in and how many disk units and what type of disk units it has. More importantly it requires 208/240v power (US)

Assuming a smaller number of drives, and not powering off then on again all the time it does not draw that much. As much as the chandeliers in the dining room with incandescent bulbs.

I looked into cloud before buying my 41A. Even with Holger it wasn't cost

It is tough.. but then again you save on electricity. I don't know how
much my system pulls. :) But one of the hosters says it's a lot. I'm
sure it's a selling point.

Yeah, Brad, that's always the decision point, isn't it? If it costs
more than $1000 a year, it's going to be difficult to justify, and I
don't think I could get down that far for an in-house box. But some of
the cloud offerings are a lot higher than that, so there's no simple
answer.

be terrible and pay for itself in a 3 or 4 years vs leasing. Just a
