IBM Pulls the Plug on Select Power Systems
But don't freak out yet! Replacements are available. In this announcement, dated November 18, 2008, IBM announces its plans to cease the sale of the following machines:
IBM System i 9406 Model 525
IBM System i 9407 Model 515
IBM Power 520 Express 9407-M15
IBM Power 520 Express 9408-M25
IBM Power 550 Express 9409-M50
All the models will be replaced with IBM Power 520 8203-E4A except 9409-M50, which will be replaced with IBM Power 550 8203-E8A. A slew of feature withdrawls also accompany the model withdrawals, including some select Base DVD-Roms, power supplies, and about a hundred other components associated with the recently killed models. It might be time for that upgrade afterall...
