Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "Why should I be charged for that use rather than a single CPU, a single socket?"
  • "The cost model is great. There is so much built in to the technology, that if you know how to use it you can save yourself a lot of money."
  • "It is designed for a large workload, as opposed to a small workload. For our circumstances, and even as an independent, I can't buy a Power system to experiment on. It can't happen. You cannot buy them."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "Its price is too high."
  • "Its price depends on the sizing."
  • "The pricing of the solution is very good because we can beat any other competitor with the pricing. Lately, they have offered good pricing for their customer."
  • "The price of the solution could be somewhat better and this is what lowers my rating of it to a seven or eight out of ten."
