What’s in a Name?

AS/400– Introduced in 1988– Massively successful midrange platform– The “AS” = Application System

eServer iSeries– AS/400 renamed to iSeries– Part of overall IBM eServer Platform

► iSeries, zSeries, xSeries & pSeries– Many customers and ISV’s still call it AS/400

System i– Important member of IBM’s Systems & Technology group– It’s more than “just a server or eServer”

► Hardware, operating system, middleware, microcode, services, financing, support, etc.– System i = Family name (AS/400, iSeries and System i5 are part of family)– System i5 = System i product using Power5 hardware

► System i5 520, 550, 570 & 595– System i6? - NO

Do “i” Care What You Call It?
