Buy Some Time With An iSeries 270 Processor UpgradeA number of our customers find that they need to upgrade their System i server but they don’t have the budget for a whole new server. They often find that they can “buy some time” inexpensively by purchasing a processor upgrade for their existing machine.
By spending a bit of money now they can further delay the purchase of a much more expensive new server.
Success Story
One recent example of this was a customer running an iSeries model 270. For just a few thousand dollars they gained:
- an extra 67% of interactive CPW,
- more than doubled their batch capability, and
- “bought” themselves an estimated 18 months before they need to purchase a new machine.
Even though their new processor is much more powerful than the original, it’s still in the same software tier, so there were no software licensing costs or increases in their software maintenance bill.
