We're running a bunch of financial stuff on SAP on AIX on IBM p, but
will be transitioning our main billing and distribution processing
from IBM i to SAP (presumably also on AIX on IBM p) in a few years. :(

But we're still going to have our warehouse software on IBM i, so
we're on 6.1 and are still getting hardware upgrades.  (1.3TB of DASD
added to our main production system last weekend.)
