RE: What is the name of the platform we work on?

As of Power5 systems, the hardware is a Power system. As of V6R1, the operating system is IBM i. V5R4 is technically i5/OS. Pre-Power5 hardware is technically System i (which IBM held was the name retroactively for the whole family from B to 8xx and Power5 before they called them Power).

Makes it so clear, doesn't it!

All I know is IBM i and System i are pretty much impossible to Google, so my job searches are all for AS400 (AS/400 also messes up searches), iSeries and i5. iSeries actually seems the most used.
