IBM i
An executive guide to IBM’s strategy and roadmap for its integrated operating environment for Power Systems
An IBM® White Paper, April, 2010
This white paper is designed to help IT executives gain a better understanding of our strategy and roadmap for the IBM i operating environment.
IBM i is the integrated operating environment for IBM Power Systems™, which has been used by hundreds of thousands of businesses around the world for over twenty years since the introduction of the AS/400® and its successor System i® server. The integrated database architecture of IBM i provides unique value for running a wide variety of business applications and continues to differentiate it from other operating environments in terms of simplicity of deployment and low cost of operations.
In 2008, IBM brought together System i and System p® into a unified POWER6™ processor-based platform: IBM Power Systems. In February 2010, we launched the first of a new generation of Power Systems based on the POWER7 processors. I am very happy to say these workload optimized systems support all three of our tier one operating environments -- AIX, IBM i and Linux – from day one. That’s our strategy. So you won’t be surprised to hear that our new POWER7 blades also support IBM i right away.
In April 2010, we also launched IBM i 7.1, which sets a new standard of total integration for business applications. This major release of IBM i has been in development since 2008. It delivers on requirements that reflect the important priorities expressed through our user communities around the world, including COMMON, COMMON Europe, ISVs and the Large User Group. I want to say thank you very much to all who helped us make this investment for the hundreds of thousands of businesses that rely on IBM i for their business applications.
You will find that our commitment to our IBM i clients, ISVs and business partners is solid and unchanged. With our clearly defined processor and software roadmap, we are making substantial investments in the future of IBM i as an important, strategic element in the IBM systems portfolio.

General Manager, IBM Power Systems
