If you are still running an old AS/400 or iSeries server your perception of the cost to replace it may be high. However, to give you an example, a new Power8 server configured as below would be approximately £25,000 with IBM Global Finance currently able to offer 2 years interest free credit, subject to credit approval, you would only be paying £3,125 per quarter. الرهانات الرياضية
