This one goes out to the one I love ... :-))

Fellow IBMer has "accused" me (in joke, offcourse) that I don't believe in iSeries. CRAP!

iSeries, AS/400 is a beast. Very similar to what i-guys from IBM like to compare it: a cheetah.


Fast. Responsive. Ressilient. Adoptive. Self protecting. Self healing. Unfortunately, IBM doesn't find a realy good way to communicate that. To spread the word.

Ever wanted to have one machine capable of running your entire bussiness - from day one, when you're a one-man-band all the way to when you're lucky enought to join the big guys in the enterprise league.

Business solution in a box. You want to run applications in multiple operating systems? -iSeries can do that. -Symultaneously!!! Consolidation? -Not a problem. Logical partitioning? -Sure. iSeries was 64 bit while Bill Gates still thought that 640K of memory should be enough for everybody. :-)

If you're in IT, you're probably like everyone else - thinking how to consolidate your server and storage environment.

Come to the real world. Become a player. To "i" or not to "i"? LOL
