From as/400 to iSeries to Power systems running IBM I--the platform just keeps getting better!
- Data Mirror
- cloud services
- high availabilty
- ability to scale the hardware based on needs
- Better spool file handling
- Keeping the faith with the older generation of users IE the green screen for IBM I
- Better support for legacy hardware. There are so many businesses still using outdated hardware and ora. They do this because, even though it is old and dated, they are STILL great!

Power Systems-Best of Breed.
- The systems are physically able to keep the systems operating and producing.
- The AIX operating system is stable and secure both Firmware and Software.
- IBM Power servers support many applications for the customer re: Oracle, DB2, and many Power grid systems.
- Trained administrators, the cost to benefit is notable.
- Need to follow the Main Frame approach to manage IBM Power servers.
- Working with third party resellers is important.
- The information gleaned from the report is a valuable tool for commercial intelligence, helping to prevent financial losses.
- Has a significant capacity for safety.
- Reliability and availability round the clock.
- Speed of I/O.
- In the hospital course, I think that in our case the number of sockets offered is not enough per contracted load, this should be expanded per contracted unit.
- The support of the program needs more training because they don't know everything as they should for programs as critical as this one.
- Outside of IBM, it's difficult to get help.
- Power System S924 operating system is a long time in the past

Good stability and remote agility with IBM.
- There are more transactions processed by this system than by any other system.
- The sturdiness of the hardware These platforms simply function.
- It is compatible with all standard applications and can interface with them.
- A great deal of assistance.
- Improved graphical user interfaces for ACS.
- The ability to expand the amount of internal storage space available.
- Features that protect your personal information.
- Memory limitations cause testing to be difficult because of this.
- NVMe capacity has really exceeded our expectations for meeting targets.
- Full PCIe Gen4 architecture has been enough and I think that with a greater range of capacity.
- Excellent UI/UX.
- System Cache is compatible with a number of industry-mandated applications.
- Data recovery is a difficult task.
- I believe that the platform is a little expensive for entry-level solutions.
- Migration is difficult even for experienced teams, and it becomes even more difficult when dealing with large amounts of data.
- The high number of CPU threads available in modern hyperscale systems is ideal.
- From a performance standpoint, the platform is outstanding.
- A variety of backup options are available to ensure the security of operating data.
- It's quite quick.
- It is quite simple to handle.
- The first version we tried lost some details or information, I think this is due to unstable connections.
- Socks for the industry are desperately needed, and more PCI ports are lacking.
- The privacy options are engaged automatically, which is a pain to deal with.
- The workflow functionality, which is supposed to spin up multiple concurrent Docker images for text execution, does not reliably feedback the results statistics.

- Contact to support should be improved.
- Np inside the control command should be improved and also extended.
- Vios via PowerVM has to be made more user-friendly.
- How sturdy and reliable this system is.
- The most powerful computers currently on the market.
- This technology allows for the development of new languages.
- Systemic stability.
- In the beginning, you'll need a lot of money.
- Compatibility with external storage.

- I like the robustness and the extra reliability that the program and the environment give to the clients that we have or to the recruits.
- Our web application is being deployed in a high-performance, secure cloud environment thanks to an IBM virtual cloud server.
- It's safe to say that the system's database is in perfect working order.
- We think that the cost is too much for the beginning since too much time is wasted implementing it or learning how to use it.
- Engineers take too long to install.
- The servers will occasionally go down.
