Re: Request for IBM i Cloud Sales Contact – Short-Term IBM i 7.6 Environment

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Have you thought about using a 3rd party?  Most allow you configure exactly
what you want.  I went to the cloud a couple years ago when my Power 8
became "obsolete".  I went through Kato Integrations (
https://katointegrations.com/) and have had zero issues.  Well, one small
one with the VPN updates from Cisco that was quickly remedied.

If you want REALLY short term I think IBM still offers Virtual Loaner
systems for a couple days.  Create a reservation (V7R6)
