  • 1.  Why is IBM still recommending a 900942G as a replacement for 900941A?

    Posted Thu January 09, 2025 07:57 AM

    Updated as recently as 2024-02-22, long after Power 10's hit the market, the 9009-41A's recommended replacement is still a 900942G.  Why?

    Rhetoric question addressed to wrong audience. 

    9009 42G can't be ordered anymore. Looks to me as IBM marketing team can't keep up with management decisions.

    That's absolutely right.  The 42G has been withdrawn from marketing since 2023.  They should clarify this.
