IBM Makes Server OS Name Change, Consolidates Platforms

IBM is discontinuing the System p and System i server brands and changing the name of the i5/OS operating system to “i” or “i for business.” An IT Jungle article notes that “servers developed and manufactured by its newly christened Power Systems division with the name–drum roll please–“Power.” As in Power 520, Power 550, Power 570, and Power 595, whether the machine is running AIX, Linux, or the operating system formerly known as i5/OS.”
