Chapter 2.
Fundamental strength of the
IBM ^ i5 and iSeries
The accelerating rate of change of both hardware and software technologies
necessitates that the server you select is designed with the future in mind. The
iSeries accommodates inevitable, rapid, and dramatic technology changes with
relatively minimum customer effort, to allow customers to meet their on demand
requirements.
Paradoxically, the characteristic of the most advanced design and technology is
that you do not notice it...you are not meant to do so. It accommodates
rapidly-changing hardware and software technologies in stride—permitting you
to fully exploit the latest technologies on demand.
iSeries servers and the supporting software offer important advanced capabilities
in key areas such as e-business, Java, Web serving, Lotus Domino, integration
with Windows, managed availability, database, and Business Intelligence
solutions. To gain an appreciation of these technologies and of the particular
strength of the iSeries server in delivering them, this chapter provides a
summary of each prime element.
