Your 4 next moves with a Power 9

Every Power 9 owner lands on one of these. You can mix them, too. Keeping or upgrading buys time while you plan a replacement.

  1. Keep it running

    Your Power 9 does not stop working when IBM support ends. Third-party maintenance can cover parts and repairs, often for less than IBM charged.

    Best when the server is stable and you need one or two more years.

    Compare third-party maintenance

  2. Upgrade the server you have

    More memory, bigger drives, or a faster network or Fibre Channel card can buy real time without a new server. Every part has an IBM feature code, so the upgrade starts there.

    Best when you are running out of room, not out of support.

  3. Buy a used or refurbished Power 9

    A matching used Power 9 makes a cheap spare, test box, or short bridge. Match the machine type first, because an A model and a G model carry different support dates.

    Best for a spare, a test system, or a stopgap of two years or less.

    Compare new, used, and refurbished

  4. Replace it with Power 10 or Power 11

    If you need IBM i 7.6, or want five or more years of IBM support, price a replacement. IBM i 7.6 does not run on any Power 9.

    Best when the server has to last past 2027 or the software needs a newer release.
