Hardware Platform
Companies rely on an efficient IT infrastructure to support business-critical applications. They need to know that their systems and business processes are deployed to meet the highest service levels defined by their business units and can be adapted to handle every new business opportunity. The IBM® i operating system® running on an IBM Power™ Systems server offers a highly scalable and virus resistant architecture with a proven reputation for exceptional business resiliency. Running applications based on the IBM i operating system has helped companies over many years to focus on innovation and delivering new value to their business, not just on managing their data center operations.
The IBM i operating system integrates a trusted combination of relational database, security, Web services, networking and storage management capabilities. It provides a broad and highly stable database and middleware foundation for efficiently deploying business processing applications. Power System servers are regarded as one of the industry's most scalable and highly integrated servers.
Power Systems IBM i servers are renowned for high volume transaction workloads that are typical in the commercial computing environment. This scalability and performance is largely delivered through the self-optimizing integrated storage management architecture of IBM i.
These proven systems operate more trouble-free, are simpler to install and maintain, and are surprisingly economical. IBM iSeries™ systems are a trusted leader, both nationally and internationally, to many of the largest and most successful companies.
Security
The IBM i platform provides comprehensive solution capabilities for a highly secure system environment. Sophisticated technologies combine to minimize the potential risk posed by security threats, while better enabling you to rapidly adapt and respond to changing Security Policy requirements.
