iSeries offers long-term maximization of existing software investments,
while allowing you to capitalize on new e-business opportunities
through rapidly deployed Web-enabled applications. iSeries’ high-performance
64-bit architecture frees applications from hardware dependencies
so you can exploit new technologies – without having to rewrite
or replace your applications.
- No need to worry about virus attacks. The
iSeries’ unique
architecture permanently tags a new object as either data or
a program to help prevent it from disguising itself and harming
your system.
- Easy management - anywhere, anytime. Dynamic resource allocation
and enhanced clustering options provide high levels of availability,
while sophisticated wireless console management frees operators
from the machine room.
- Integrated Microsoft Windows support. The
Integrated xSeries Server and xSeries Adapter allows you to
run multiple Windows ® servers
from within or directly attached to your iSeries.
- Say good-bye to server farms. Advanced logical
partitioning and workload subsystem
management options let
you balance multiple workloads – independent of each other – all
in one server footprint. This means lower operating costs and
improved user service levels.
With iSeries, it’s not necessary to think your hardware
platform will run only those applications written for it. Because
iSeries supports a variety of different operating systems such
as Windows 2000 ®, Linux ®, UNIX ® and OS/400 ®,
as well as application environments and languages such as Java ™,
WebSphere ®, and Domino ™, you are free to put your business
needs ahead of those of your IT infrastructure.
- Choose the best applications for your business. Application environments,
including Java, Domino and WebSphere, and the support for UNIX
applications are tightly integrated with OS/400. Linux is managed
as an independent operating system running on its own partition,
and Windows 2000 can run via an integrated or direct-attached Intel-based
processor.
- Low total cost of ownership and high ROI.
Pre-integrating key elements of a solution – the database, for example – should
mean fewer operators, fewer consultants and faster speed of development – thereby
providing a faster return on investment.
IBM e-server iSeries delivers a wide range of tools to help customers
manage today’s e-business – including servers, storage,
software, services, technical support, education, and financing.
What’s unique about the iSeries is its integrated design – offering
new ways to manage end-to-end growth, risks and costs across multiple
servers as well as an entire network – all in one server
footprint.
