As a business owner, you need to run your business and you need your information technology (IT) system to work, every day. An i5/OS and IBM System i solution can help you meet these needs. One key factors that differentiates the System i platform from other platforms is the level of hardware and software integration. For example, in a UNIX environment, you must select software components from different vendors (operating system, database software, system management software, and so on) and integrate them to build a working environment for an SAP system.
The System i family is a fully integrated IT solution that runs its own i5/OS and is based on the IBM POWER5+™ processor technology. An integrated DB2 UDB database is part of System i. With i5/OS, this DB2 UDB offers automatic functions for system management, such as fully automated disk management and workload management. System i can help you simplify your SAP system landscapes, by allowing them to operate with a small staff in a user-friendly way.
On this very complete eBook, IBM compromises to deliver Comprehensive yet simple SAP business applications with i5/OS, Successful business solutions in an on demand complex world and SAP applications and System i integration.
