Key Benefits

The Value of a Version Upgrade
The Power Systems (System i) is one of the most stable and reliable computer systems available, and each new Operating System Version ensures your system runs at peak performance. Keeping up with technology plays a vital role in future IT planning.

With each new Operating System Release, IBM terminates support of certain older releases. If you experience a problem related to your iSeries (AS/400) Operating System and you are not running a supported Operating System Release, IBM will not provide support. Also, if your Operating System is not current and you decide to upgrade your system or purchase a new system, you may not be able to migrate the iSeries Operating System to your new system, thus incurring additional upgrade costs.
