Budget Guide
Keeping Up With IBM Server BrandsIBM enjoys rebranding products to keep them relevant and current to the user population.
For anyone who is yet to ‘catch up’ the following is a quick summary of some products that share ‘dual personalities’.
System 390 = zSeries = System z (Mainframe)
AS/400 = iSeries = System i (Midrange OS/400)
RS/6000 = pSeries = System p (Midrange Unix)
FastT600 = DS4300 (Fibre Disk Array)
FastT700 = DS4400 (Fibre Disk Array)
FastT900 = DS4500 (Fibre Disk Array)
UPDATE: IBM have since replaced System i and System p with the new IBM Power Systems.
