Let's say you were ordering a new Power 11. As part of the deal IBM throws
in a years subscription to IBM Power Cloud. Your company really has no
cloud interest at this time. What would you do with this offering?
At this time we have two Power 10s and a Power 9. The Power 9 will be
getting replaced by a Power 11 mainly due to "change of support" and that
it cannot run IBM i 7.6. Across these machines are 14 LPARs of IBM i, two
LPARs of AIX (solely for IBM Storage Protect) and the usual 6 LPARs of
VIOS. A couple of the IBM i LPARs are using software replication from one
of the Power 10's to the Power 9 for H/A. The Power 10's are in one data
center, the Power 9 in another. We're using Data Domain VTLs for backup
and haven't had a physical tape drive in years.
