IBM EXTENDS SUPPORT FOR IBM i 7.1

6/10/2020

0 Comments

 
IBM i 7.1 was launched on April 13th 2010 and is the longest supported release of any IBM i midrange platform in the family history since the birth of AS/400.  Before now, IBM i 7.1 had support for 2,929 days, against an average of 1,436 days across 25 releases since June 1988 when the AS/400 was launched.  With the proposal that 7.1 will enjoy another support extension, this time of two years, we will have seen an incredible 4,755 days of support.

Here's a chart originally published by IT Jungle that details the release cycle:

Alison Butterill, IBM i office manager said of the proposed extension, "We have a number of clients who have not yet moved for a variety of reasons, some of the reasons for customers staying with IBM i 7.1 are due to applications, some are due to support for peripheral devices they need.”

Utilities 400 are committed to supporting our IBM i customer base on multiple levels of IBM i OS.  Indeed, we still will have a partition on our development box that runs on v5.3.  So, if you still have a box that's over 15 years old, we still have iterations of our solutions that can support you.  ​
