What if I want to run Windows or Linux applications on the iSeries?
Most of us are accustomed to having to decide on one operating system for the hardware we select. Depending on the applications we run, we can therefore end up with multiple operating systems, and multiple servers. This creates a complex infrastructure and many different systems that need to be managed and backed up. With the new iSeries platform, mutiple operating systems are supported on a single hardware platform. IBM describes it as “…. reducing complexity and improving flexibility and productivity with a highly integrated and highly secure POWER5+ processor-based system. Runs i5/OS®, AIX 5L, Windows® and Linux® simultaneously-offering tremendous flexibility in application choice.
