What is the AS/400?
The AS/400 operating system, which is now known as IBM i, is an operating system designed to run applications on the AS/400 platform. It was released simultaneously with the AS/400 hardware. It has several advantages:
-
Built-in database (DB2)
-
Backward compatible with earlier versions of the IBM AS/400. This allows you to switch to a new version of the platform without reinstalling applications.
-
The IBM AS/400 is a turnkey operating system and can run for long periods with little or no IT support.
-
Automatic scheduling of system maintenance and identification of problems in the system.
-
The programming data needed to run the IBM AS/400 is already integrated into the base OS. This eliminates the need to purchase and install software separately.
-
The ability to quickly switch from one task to another.
-
The AS/400 (iSeries) operating system is integrated with server technologies such as the DB2 Universal Database and Lotus Domino software.​
​
These features combined for a more user-friendly, versatile experience for programmers, system admins, and regular users in the office, particularly when compared with its predecessor, IBM’s System/38. For instance, it features built-in support for SQL databases, which paves the way for more complex data manipulation by users.
The operating system also prioritized connectivity. This made it an ideal solution for office settings where users had to connect copy machines, printers, rack servers, and more to the same network.
