Reliability and Simplicity of IBM AS400 iSeries Is IBM's iSeries the right choice for your organization? IBMi and its predecessor like IBM AS400, have earned a reputation as a strong operating platform throughout the business world. Over the years, this popular and reliable operating system, consisting of integrated and reliable hardware and software, has been seen as a relatively closed system that can be protected from intrusion and external threats. As the platform evolved in response to IT infrastructure and networking changes, new functionality and connectivity gradually began to build into the core protection at the heart of the IBMi platform. The growing need for compatibility with Windows-based networking poses the first significant challenge to meeting IBM as400 security, although it retains its flat virtual memory model and object-based architecture. Reliable IBM AS400 iSeries have power. Those who work with IBM AS400 iSeries know that they are exceptionally reliable, especially the x86 server. We know that IBMi's uptime is too high. According to a Google search, we got to know that 99.99% to 99.999% of server has a downtime of 5.26 minutes per server. But IBM POWER9 goes a step further and offers only 1.75 minutes of downtime per year.
Of course, these are compelling statistics. What about Some Anecdotes? Let's have a look at two examples. A company in Wisconsin had a disk and memory. Their disk and memory failed. But did the system crash? Heck, No. RAID array storage stays alive until the failed disk is replaced in one day. The server slowed down a bit until the memory changed. In another incident, a company in Texas loses a disk unit. Has the system stopped working? Heck, No. The RAID array keeps the storage alive, and the cache battery failure notification is a 60-day notice. In other words, this company has two months before the cache battery runs out entirely. So basically, IBM iSeries delivers specific error messages that need to be fixed. How great it is!
