Build the S914 upgrade decision
Compare S1112
Use it for the smaller entry workload when its IBM i tier, memory, storage, and I/O limits fit.
Compare S1122
Use it when the workload needs more capacity, expansion, partitions, or growth than S1112 can carry.
Carry the workload
Bring peak CPW, active cores, memory, storage, adapters, IBM i release, and software tier into the quote.
Set the cutover
Define backup, testing, downtime, rollback, and application checks before the old server sets the schedule.
Price the S914 replacement
Use the Power 9 upgrade matrix to compare S1112 and S1122, then request an IBM Power quote with the 9009-41G processor feature and workload facts.

What does the IBM Power S914 cost?
Midland Information Systems' published S914 range of $12,500 to $28,300 covers both the 41A and the 41G. Data Tech Computer's posted used units are 41A machines at $7,500 to $8,500, so treat the G model as the same used market with a later build date.
Published IBM Power S914 prices and what each one includes
