An argument that seems to go on and on (and on). What are the pros and cons of IBM i. And, as Alex Woodie says in the opening sentence of his recent article on IT Jungle: "Everybody has an opinion, and it seems that many people these days feel the need to share those opinions, for better or worse" Alex uses reviews posted on G2 to put together this balanced insight: https://bit.ly/45lq1jS Agree with the advantages?

July's update from Andrew Nicholson focuses on IBM's Power11 announcement in Berlin. As you'd expect, Big Blue was keen to showcase the performance improvements, efficiency gains and superior resilience over previous iterations. In this update, I'll be asking "What’s so great about the Power11?” and “Should I now upgrade from a Power10 or 9, or earlier?” Read your IBM i update here: https://lnkd.in/ejBGHVNN Proximity also has a notable mention in the announcement in relation to the general availability of Power VS on Power11 with a nod to our logistics and transport management system, Stream [https://go2stream.com/]. We'd love to hear your thoughts on Power11 and Power VS... Just drop us a comment. #Power11 #PowerVS #IBMi
