About AS/400

AS/400 is the platform of tomorrow. The very architectural design of AS/400 makes it much more efficient, functionally richer, more reliable, more stable and more productive than any other system. The main thing that is unique about AS/400 is that it has not been hacked till date and the possibilities of the thing getting hacked are also very low. Its integrated database design makes data access fast which makes things easier for programmers and users alike.

The main advantages offered by AS/400 (the reason why it is used by most of the fortune 500 Companies) are given below:

· Easy to install and make it operational
· Easy to use and build applications
· Fail safe (down time is lowest among its category)
· Data flexibility
· Fault tolerant, user friendly, easy to repair.
· Operational in all physical environments.
· Constant upgradation for all levels from IBM sites.
· Third party vendors have developed thousands of applications for it.
· Till date it's the only Object Oriented Operating System.

Things, which are going to make AS/400 a platform of tomorrow, are given below:

i. i-Series is the only platform in the industry that can run a broad variety of applications in addition to i-series applications. They include Microsoft NT and Windows 2000 solutions, selected AIX applications and Linux applications running concurrently in separate logical partitions

ii. i-series supports most of the popular communication protocols of tomorrow.

iii. Users can now develop their own customized web application with Web sphere and Java.

iv. Performance monitoring AS/400 provides the system administrator with excellent system monitoring tools, which allows the operator to identify resource-crunching applications and accordingly allocate resources.

v. AS/400 has been the backbone of most e-CRM applications due to its web-oriented architecture, the ability to provide fast and secured access to data and the capability to interact with a wide variety of operating systems.
