iSeries Editions

iSeries Editions are flexible-options packages that help simplify choices and
maximize business value. IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries servers are offered with
Editions that provide you with some of IBM's most popular middleware in an
integrated package, yet have the ability to run traditional OLTP applications that
require 5250 CPW. Each iSeries edition incorporates a set of software licensing
and hardware features designed to help meet the specific demands of small,
medium, and large enterprises.
The editions offered for today's iSeries servers include:
Standard Edition: The Standard edition is attractively priced to drive new
workloads that do not require 5250 OLTP CPW on the Eserver i5 models.
The Standard Edition is featured for a wide variety of e-business and client
server solutions.
The Standard Edition for the Model 520 processors provides limited 5250
CPW for 5250 OLTP workloads. The Standard Edition also provides support
for Capacity on Demand (permanent and temporary).
Note: 5250 OLTP applications modernized (WebFaced) using the IBM
WebFacing Tool of IBM WebSphere Development Studio can be used with
the Standard Edition.
