IBM's iSeries
With the next
generation of IBM eServer® iSeries™ servers, you have the flexibility
to run on demand computing environments for IBM i5/OS™ (the latest
generation of IBM OS/400®), IBM AIX 5L™, Microsoft® Windows®, Linux,
IBM WebSphere®, Lotus® Domino® and Java™ solutions—all on a single
highly integrated, powerful server. Extensive growth options, resource
virtualization and intuitive management tools mean that iSeries servers
can provide not only the power and capacity to run core business applications,
but also the freedom and scalability to add new e-business applications
on the same server.
The information
below provides a high level look at this universally acclaimed hardware
platform. If you would like additional information, direct from IBM,

Simplify
Your Infrastructure
As the industry's first
servers based on advanced IBM POWER5™ microprocessor technology—the
ninth generation of IBM 64-bit processor technology—IBM eServer
iSeries servers are designed to reduce complexity, streamline
your infrastructure and enhance productivity through server consolidation.
By integrating applications onto a single platform, you can grow
your IT infrastructure along with your company—without adding
an extra server every time you take on a new business challenge.
The iSeries family is
equipped with a range of dynamic workload management features
designed to enable businesses to adjust workloads and performance
dynamically—even automatically—to meet constantly shifting business
priorities and increase server utilization rates. The workload
management tools incorporated into iSeries servers can give your
company the option to run multiple subsystems, allowing administrators
to enhance productivity by balancing the processing priorities
for different applications running within the same operating system
image.
Integrate
to Innovate
To deliver
new value to your business, you need to integrate people, processes
and information. In addition to running multiple operating systems
simultaneously, iSeries servers can seamlessly integrate Intel®
processor-based servers to support Windows environments.
Staying competitive
in the on demand world requires that companies react at the pace
of e-business and deploy applications quickly—which is why iSeries
servers include a complete suite of tools to support integrated
Web enablement. Integrated software includes IBM DB2 Universal Database™
(UDB) software with i5/OS V5R3 enhancements, including automated
database reorganization; IBM Lotus Domino software; IBM WebSphere
Application Server — Express for iSeries (WAS Express); and an HTTP
Web server (powered by Apache). iSeries servers even integrate storage
resources to help promote innovation in your business. Instead of
requiring dedicated storage on individual servers or a complex storage
area network (SAN),
iSeries servers
can allow you to share a single storage pool—providing an integrated
approach to resource management and backup. In addition, with a
virtualized, high-bandwidth network inside the system, you can communicate
securely between applications without dedicating expensive network
devices.
Deliver
without Disruption
Every iSeries server is
delivered with the future in mind—enabling businesses to seamlessly
upgrade their servers between technology generations while also
helping to protect their investments in storage and networking.
Most importantly, iSeries servers are designed to adapt to disruptive
changes and deliver outstanding levels of performance and capacity.
Self-managing features also
can help businesses avoid the expense of changing their applications
and processes—by automating the monitoring of key processes, these
features can help promote high availability and prevent downtime.
