The following is from the above article. Read it carefully:


Big Blue's server family
Quick guide to the IBM server world


zSeries: Formerly the S/390. Top-end mainframes with entrenched corporate
customer base. Sell often for more than $1 million. Run the z/OS, VM and
Linux.

iSeries: Formerly the AS/400. Mini-mainframes running AIX and Linux. Loyal
following. Power processors inside.

pSeries: Formerly the RS/6000. Linux-Unix server for general business. Runs
on power chips.

xSeries: Formerly Netfinity. Intel-based servers running Windows and Linux.
Often least expensive, least powerful machines but gaining power and
popularity.
