Enterprise class server and the successor to the AS/400. Originally implementing a design as a single system, including hardware, operating system and database. AS/400 was renamed ISeries in 2000, with the introduction of the V5R1 operating system and 800 line of servers.
While ISeries still is used to describe both hardware and software, the operating system I5/OS, the successor to OS/400 can now be run on either ISeries, I5 hardware or pSeries, successor to the RS/6000. Both systems run on RISC based POWER5 processor(s).
