RE: What is an i5 (iSeries, AS/400)

Perhaps the correct terminology would be "managing" of the IXS and other 
environments. 
To say that it's "running on the i5" is just a bit mis-leading.

You *can't* run windows on an i5/iSeries/etc. 

You *can* run windows on an internal IXS server board. Which then gets to
use emulated disk space provided by the hosting iSeries. 

Functionally, there is no real difference between the *IXS boards* and a
blade server and SAN. Maybe faster since there is no external network
interface to deal with, but still the same idea.
