Reasons for Benchmarks

YES! IBM i operating system, AIX , Linux, and Oracle all run on IBM Power Systems

The IBM Power System is the only server in the industry that can consolidate and integrate such a wide range of operating systems simultaneously including i Operating System, Linux, Windows and AIX. The IBM Power System also supports running Oracle 9i Database in Linux partitions. The Benchmark Centers in Rochester, MN and Montpellier have already done customer benchmarks showcasing the possibilities of running i Operating System, AIX, and Linux partitions on the same server.
