IBM i platform maintains its focus on business applications, a focus which began with the AS/400® and continues with IBM System i family. The support of AIX on the IBM i platform offers customers more choices of solutions to meet business needs. In addition to the numerous IBM i applications and portfolio of Windows applications available on System i via Integrated System x technology and the hundreds of available Linux applications supported on Linux on POWER, System i customers can choose to run AIX applications as well.
Choosing an application should be about finding the best solution to meet your business demands, not just the ones that fit a single operating system. With the growing complexities of business, many customers find that no single operating system has all the solutions to meet their business requirements. How can your server infrastructure support solutions running on diverse operating systems while maintaining infrastructure simplicity? If you own a System i platfrom, it's easy. Choose from the vast selection of IBM i, Windows, Linux and, AIX applications and deploy on a IBM i platform while making use of virtualization and systems management technologies which simplify managing all four operating systems on a single system.
You can integrate your AIX applications with your business applications and data running in IBM i on the same system. There are several methods to access information in DB2 UDB in IBM i from AIX partitions including the IBM Toolbox for Java™ and DB2 Connect.
The SPT helps you plan and configure a System i solution to run AIX in logical partitions. The SPT is available to assist the user in system planning, design, validation and to provide a system validation report that reflects the user’s system requirements while not exceeding system recommendations.
