Chapter 23. i5/OS and OS/400
(5722-SS1): Architecture
The iSeries operating system, i5/OS (formerly known as Operating System/400
and OS/400), is architected as a single entity. This means that such facilities as
relational database, communication and networking capabilities, online help,
Web enablement technologies, easy enterprise management, and much more
are fully integrated into the operating system and the machine. The user
communicates with all components of i5/OS and OS/400 using a single
command language Control Language (CL) or administers and manages the
system using a graphical user interface (GUI).
i5/OS and OS/400 provide the industry's foremost application flexibility with
support for iSeries, Linux, Windows 2000, Java, and UNIX applications. It
combines high availability with superior workload management and logical
partitioning. The next generation of applications can be quickly deployed and
managed in a single, partitioned server alongside current business applications.
With i5/OS and OS/400, a business can simply and rapidly deploy on demand
business applications with seamless integration of existing applications and data.
With extensions to its robust security and networking options, i5/OS and OS/400
enable business-to-business connectivity through the supply chain and to
customers.
