IT Jungle just published my latest article on leveraging your existing capacity at upgrade time by performing a minor upgrade on existing hardware, rather than moving to the latest Power 7+ machines.

I documented the opportunities, pitfalls, and cost decisions in this article. Worth a read if you’re at the end of your hardware life-cycle.
