Yeah, I know. Just poking fun of their level of hype being such that they make it sound like you are one of a privileged few if they even take your call and allow you to buy this apparent masterpiece.
- broodbucket 4y agoThe general rule of thumb is if the product page says "contact us" instead of a price, you can't afford it. It is a shame though. IBM has no idea how to sell to anyone other that gigantic megacorps - which, fair enough, but they could probably pick up a lot of sales to medium-sized businesses if they weren't so old-fashioned about everything
- wmf 4y agoMedium-sized businesses can easily buy IBM stuff through VARs. (If your VAR does not recommend any IBM products, that's a different situation.) If you're smart enough to buy IT directly then you're probably also smart enough to realize that very few IBM products are good.

- Stranger43 4y agoTo be honest you should not be buying this level of equipment "off the peg" without a serious pre-sales process of evaluation and sizing unless you have significant prior experience, and the people with that experience will already have some kind partner agreement in place. It's much more like placing an order for an container full of severs based on an reference design from an OEM then going to HPE or Dell for a commodity x64 system.
