P50
IBM's top IBM i software tier, priced identically to P30 Enterprise Edition.
P50 applies to the largest scale-up Power servers (E1150, E1180). Rather than a separate price schedule, IBM prices P50 the same as P30 Enterprise Edition -- buyers sizing top-tier systems should use P30 figures as their P50 planning baseline, then confirm with a Business Partner at quote time.
