Reader feedback on new System i boxes



Posted by: Mark Fontecchio
System i hardware

I like when sites like System iNetwork do reader feedback stories that just include blurbs from readers on what they think about various System i and iSeries issues. Right now the buzz is around the new System i 515 and 525 boxes targeted for small-to-medium businesses.

The responses obviously include positive and negative feedback; I only wish there had been more overall. My favorite from the bunch is the last: “The customer may have somebody familiar with PC hardware concepts, and that person may get the setup job, but customers need to be convinced that it is an easy server to setup and get going so that they spread the word.”

Great post. I am a big fan of the new boxes and want to know more. IBM is coming by this week to make sure we understand the purpose and how a large company looking for a 3 tier arch. can use it. I am also going to be at COMMON looking for more answers.
