Summary - IBM i series Handbook

enables the iSeries servers to operate at the C2 level of trust as defined by the United states
government. Security at V5R1 has been enhanced with:
• Enhanced system integrity with digital signature and object signing
• Easier to use Digital Certificate Manager
• Enhanced password protection

Summary

iSeries servers offer a brilliant architecture that is not found on simply any business
computing system. There are many examples of where the system architecture has delivered
on its promise of making the most advanced technology readily and continuously available to
its customers. For example, the iSeries servers have enabled their customers to:
• Provide Internet access to existing iSeries applications. Through a product known as
HTML Gateway (which resides within OS/400), Internet users can access and run
iSeries applications.
• Integrate diverse environments (such as Microsoft Windows NT and Lotus
Notes/Domino) onto the iSeries server. All customer solutions require a range of
hardware and software products from a variety of vendors. The iSeries server, through
integrating these mixed environments, simplify the task of managing them.
• Change to the on-chip copper-wiring processor technology or to Silicon on Insulator
technology for the medium and high end servers.
• Implement PCI hot-plugging technology for higher availability, and use other
performance boosting innovations such as the High Speed Link and new high speed
LAN adapters.
