Doing the math on a Power7 upgrade

Posted on by Joe Hertvik

Wondering what the monetary case IBM is selling for getting you to upgrade old PowerPC, Power4, Power5, and Power6 machines to Big Blue’s new Power 7 machines?

Tim Prickett Morgan has an interesting article on IBM Power 7 upgrade math. He looks at what IBM thinks you’re going to gain by upgrading to a Power 7 versus standing pat on your existing machine (besides the obvious performance gain, which is incredible). Read it on the IT Jungle Web site here.

At the companies I work for, I’ve been through four sizable Power i upgrades in the last few years. So feel free to email me at joe@joehertvik.com if you want to compare notes or are looking for another perspective.
