Is Power 11 availability affecting the roll out of IBM i 7.6?

  • 1.  Is Power 11 availability affecting the roll out of IBM i 7.6?

    Posted 21 days ago

    How much of a factor, if any, is the availability of Power 11 playing with Vendor software support for IBM i 7.6?

    Meaning, how many vendors were hoping to bypass spending the money on Power 10, and go straight to Power 11?  If IBM keeps the pattern up, iNext will be out in 2028 and will likely not run on Power 10 so, if you have to upgrade, why not try to go with a 6 year life and not a 3 year life?  And get a P11 instead of a P10?  I know it's a factor in our roll out.  We have a Power 9 which we need to replace.
