Being experienced with the IBM Power systems line has made the selection and evaluation process rather simple. Because these IBM systems are being utilized with settings that primarily use legacy operating systems, IBMi OS and AIX, that does make the process more direct. It would have and still could be nice to investigate how other Linux-based products might be used for available Power 9 cores. It would be helpful if IBM made the process easier to learn about the options.

I won't change my evaluation, I stated the best aspects for the given server from real results on the field with a real situation, and the S924 stands out from the rest servers of its class. The S924 support 3 different operating system, which is amazing. It supports:- IBM i, a business-ready OS.- AIX, the battle-tested UNIX System V IBM flavor.- Linux, no words needed, open-source leading OS.
