IBM System i (iSeries, AS/400)
Pros:
- Has a well-deserved reputation for stability and reliability
- Has the lowest operating cost of any platform
- Administration is very simple. It just runs
Cons:
- Up-front costs can be higher than other platforms
- The proprietary nature of its architecture can be seen as a negative
- Platform skills are dwindling and it is therefore more expensive to obtain the talent to support it
Intel/Windows Platform
Pros:
- Has a lower entry cost than other platforms, especially when compared to the System i
- Windows skill sets are far more common and therefore less expensive to obtain
Cons:
- The Windows platform is perceived to be less reliable and less stable than System i
- Administration of Windows environment requires more effort than System i
- Proper sizing and configuration is key to obtaining a stable, high-performance implementation

- Factors to consider include customer preference, employee skill sets, and budgetary constraints
