Older unix hardware lifespan

[Bill Pontius]

We have 9 10.20 systems - 778/B132L, 777/C110, 887/G70, 867/G40, 778/B132L, 755, 715, 778/B132L, 811/D210 that I have to figure their future. I know that 10.20 is discontinued in 6/30/2 and obsolute in 6/30/3. I think the 700 series needs to be update to ACE9912. Where do I get ACE9912? What is the 800 series upgrade? How long will these systems be covered under hardware/software service agreement? Any other info. I might need to know?

I can talk about C110. It runs UX 11 just fine providing that you have 4 Gig hard drive space and 128 Meg memory just for the op system. More is needed if you want to run anything else. I would say, leave them on 10.20 until they die.

We have discontinued support for all our C110's and use the extra ones for spare parts. Support was getting too expensive.

We have a few 715 for workstations, but they are being replaced with the C110's. The C110's are being taken out of the production server farm and the users consolidated on N machines.
