IBM 9009-42A and other Power9 systems support PCIe Gen 4 and earlier PCIe generation feature cards. If I/O performance, response times and throughput are contributing factors for upgrading your IBM i, you should purchase new RAID Controllers and other SAS adapters, as the newer generation PCIe adapters provide significant performance gains. The 9009-42A Power9 systems support 220V power. IBM S924 Power9 models have three backplane options, a 12 SFF-3 Bays, a 18 SFF-3 bays with write cache or a 12 SFF-3 bays with dual IOA and write cache. IBM i workloads require 4k byte block hard disk drives or SSD. If you need to boot more than one Virtual IO server from internal disks, your Power9 system needs to the split backplane feature and a minimum of four disks (two per Virtual IO Server).
The Power System S924 model 9009-42A pricing depends on the configuration of the server. Each 9009-42A system comes custom configured to the exact specifications that the customer requests, including number of active cores and processers, memory, storage, operating system level and licsenses, and number of concurrent users.
