Even IBM can’t figure out what to call the AS400 / iSeries / i5.
Recently I visited a IBM web page that was describing a local event … here’s a fragment of what is displayed:
Take a look at the title … then look at the body.
The title refers to eServer iSeries … while the body refers to eServer i5.
How can IBM expect the industry to embrace the system if there’s no clear name for it?
But.. I have heard this explaination though. The i5 is a model type within the iSeries family. Just like the 810 is a model within the iSeries family. Either way it is still confusing.
> The i5 is a model type within the iSeries family
If that were the case, then they should be refered to as “eServer iSeries i5” instead of “eServer i5”.
Mike, if that were the case, then wouldn’t the operating system be called 810/OS?
