Reliability: Avoid failures! iSeries uses technology like ChipKill memory, data scrubbing, dedicated hardware “service processors” and other techniques to determine potential “soft” problems before a failure occurs. If a failure does occur, the iSeries keeps running if at all possible, and “phones home” with the failure information. When the repair is performed, capabilities often allow the problem to be “fixed on the fly” without taking the system down.
Scalability: The ability to both scale up, and scale out (cluster). iSeries models span over 40x growth from the smallest to the largest, and over 10x performance upgrade-ability within the same serial number. All models have the ability to non-disruptively add towers, adapters, disks, and other features while the system continues to run.
Ease of Use: Via graphical operations and a degree of consistency throughout the system that is only possible on a system where Database, Security, System Tools, and other components are all pre-integrated. Extensive use of “wizards” to set up and manage various functions.
Low Total Cost of Ownership: The database is already included. High performance processors allow more work with lower costs for software that is processor-based. Lower operational costs through built-in functionality (including object orientation, single level storage, a high level machine interface, integrated security, etc.).
Integration of Multiple Operational Environments: The ability of the iSeries to run OS/400 applications such as ERP, SCM, CRM, Collaboration, Email, Web Serving, etc. |
