What's IBM System i
IBM System i, formerly known as AS/400, is a midrange computer platform designed for businesses to run mission-critical applications with high reliability, scalability, and security. Released in 1988, it became a popular solution for enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing, and financial services due to its integrated architecture that combines hardware, operating system (IBM i), and database management (DB2) in a seamless environment. The platform supports multiple programming languages and workloads, making it versatile for various industries. Over time, it evolved into IBM Power Systems, but it remains a cornerstone for businesses relying on legacy applications and modern cloud integration.
