Build the S922 upgrade decision
Compare S1122
Start with the current S1122 configuration that supports the operating system and peak workload.
Carry the workload
Bring peak CPW or rPerf, active cores, memory, storage, adapters, and growth into the quote.
Check software
Confirm IBM i, AIX, Linux, VIOS, licensed products, and the target release before hardware is ordered.
Set the cutover
Define backup, testing, downtime, rollback, and application checks before the old server sets the date.
Price the S922 replacement
Use the Power 9 upgrade matrix to compare S1122, then request an IBM Power quote with the 9009-22G processor feature and workload facts.
