Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power Systems

Our Power System platforms houses our corporate ERP package which is utilized across our organization daily by approx. 300 users at different locations. Power systems has a proven itself to be a robust, stable and reliable platform with little to no hardware issues in the approx 7 years of usage.

  • Ease of configuration. Administration is a breeze when making changes.
  • Flexibility of operating system choices.

Cons

  • I think the platform is a little pricey for entry point solutions.
  • Complexity of licensing could be an issue for entry point solution.
  • Ability to add more internal storage space than available on base model.

Most RPG-based program used in manufacturing or warehousing will run like a breeze and are made for this platform. Its a good entry point solution for a small-medium sized business that wants to insure little overhead for administration and hardware replacement. This platform will run like a beast with little need for maintenance to its hardware.
