I wrote an article on Powerhouse futures yesterday. There appears to be no expansion of the MPE/iX Powerhouse, as you know. But I can see how a migration to a supported and still-developing Powerhouse would be a valid strategy. The article includes a note from longtime Cognos product manager Bob Deskin about Linux Powerhouse:

"For PowerHouse 4GL and Web on Unix and Linux, the current version is 8.43G build 3350.101. It supports RHEL 7 and Oracle 12c. This is still a G version because they couldn’t find anyone to beta test the U version. It is a fully branded UNICOM version and is compatible with the Windows 8.41U and Axiant 3.4U even though it might seem otherwise. They still plan to have an 8.43U version soon."

Deskin is retired, but he consulted with Unicom during the transfer of Powerhouse from IBM. There are contact numbers for Unicom in the full article:
