Re: IBM i Hosting

I'm with Brad on this one.

As a developer I want my own system.

And I purchased a 41A with 5 years hardware and 5 years software all up
front and my repayments are manageable.

Significant discount bundling all the maintenance in up front.

Cheers

I looked into cloud before buying my 41A. Even with Holger it wasn't cost
effective, and he was one of the lowest.

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
thought.
