Legitimately trying to understand.  Should it be asking for different demographics, or should that have been determined by something on the first screen?  Does it eventually end?

My fear for P11 is how to managed ouy Power Entreprise Pool migration from highend P9/P10 to P10/P11 servers as new PEP 2.0 is not allowing more than 2 consecutive server generation in pool, this was not highlighted at the beginning of PEP 2.0, such migration does not happen in few minutes due to business, costs constraints .....

My concern is the number of software vendors who do not upgrade OS levels and hardware levels.  IBM not having small, IBM i tier P05, servers available on GA date is holding a lot back.  You still cannot get a Power 11 P05 tier machine.  What software vendor, trying to be current enough to be able to test new levels of OS, wants to buy a Power 10 P05 when it likely will be obsolete in under 3 years as it likely won't run rNext of IBM i?  Many of these vendors are cloud phobic.  And adverse to SAN costs for small machines so internal drives on a P05 tier must be available.  

Not having them ready is stopping me from adopting IBM i 7.6.  This is a big security hurdle as it delays rolling out MFA.  Don't try to push 3rd party products for MFA because the last thing I want is to have to wait upon yet another vendor to support new levels of the OS.

Urtzi,

Even 7.2 can get extended support until April of this year.  As hard as it may be, even with software vendors who may have folded, etc, these customers need to upgrade eventually.  Doomsday dates are published well in advance.  If they cannot plan for this it would be a wonder how they stay in business anyway.  https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/668157

As far as software vendors go, I have little sympathy for those trying to squeak by on 20 year old releases of the OS if they cannot certify the latest version of the OS.

I fail to see why any customer would need to buy a brand new machine every 3 years.  I'm trying to figure out where you came up with the 3 year mark.  Please explain.

That's a better explanation.  My only question is does one still pay for 3 years maintenance on the software on a new purchase?  Or do you start out with subscriptions from day 1?

You'd think that with a new Power 11 still in the box I need to install that I'd know this but that's above my paygrade.  I can find out though.

I agree that keeping track of licenses is starting to rank up there with keeping track of certifications.  And the industry keeps dropping certification durations.

Newer versions of IBM i are those most prone to subscription pricing.  However these same boxes also have SQL functions like the following https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.6.0?topic=services-license-expiration-check-procedure  which can be used to email, or otherwise notify, you that licenses are approaching expiration.

Hi Susan

I tried to complete the survey, but each time I fill in all the fields and click the arrow at the bottom, my responses are cleared and the survey starts over.

Thank you 

As others said, survey is broken, so I'll just leave this here:

By not having a fat FOSS layer, IBM is self-selecting AIX out of consideration for the vast majority of ISVs out there.

Note that I have nothing but praise and respect for the team that is keeping the Toolbox alive on a shoestring budget, but they need help, starting with more resources, and a complete pipeline from upstream source repository to downloadable RPMs.  (Heroics doesn't scale)

The final target should be absolute parity with RHEL, that would allow an ISV to target AIX without having to pay a large price to tailor their software to AIX.

Making AIX a consideration for ISVs, adds to it's ISV portfolio, which increases it's total addressable market, which also increases the ISV's appetite to have AIX as a target.

Having a fat FOSS layer also eases the porting of other FOSS software to AIX, which in turn opens up AIX as a possible solution in places where you'd typically need to propose Linux on Intel due to lack of AIX software.

Note that the FOSS layer is also an enabler to integrate AIX into monitoring and management solutions, something you can't afford to lose on regulated industries. 

Reminds me of the saying  " Hardware will eventually fail , software will eventually work "   
We have some of the most robust hardware on the planet, but the software side is lacking.

As others said, survey is broken, so I'll just leave this here:
