Recession Alert: IBM Gooses System i Maintenance Prices
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Well, IBM doesn't do it very often, but last week it raised the monthly and annual maintenance on AS/400 and iSeries servers and related auxiliary expansion boxes and peripherals associated with the vintage OS/400 servers that populate its vast installed base. The OS/400 server platforms out there in the world were not the only machines affected. Vintage RS/6000 and pSeries, System/390 and zSeries, and other Netfinity and xSeries platforms also had increased maintenance charges. So did various older models of IBM's tape and disk products.

i5/OS V6R1 Ships, And Shops Begin to Move
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As we go to press with this issue of The Four Hundred, IBM has just begun, on March 21, shipping i5/OS V6R1 operating system for its System i server line and for a relatively minor number of System p shops that run AIX and i5/OS side by side in logical partitions.

Global Services Offers i5/OS V6R1 Migration Help
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It isn't very often that an OS/400 or i5/OS upgrade has involved big changes in the microcode underneath what users and programmers see as that operating system, at least not changes that affect compiled applications. One of the brilliant things about the AS/400 architecture is the way it kept applications from talking directly to the iron--what we would today call virtualization--and thereby allowing applications compiled for one set of software and hardware to appear to run on radically different software and hardware in the future.

Sun Backs Into the SMB Customer Space
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Server and operating system maker Sun Microsystems is known for being a player in the data center, but its servers are not known to be popular among small and medium businesses. And Solaris, like Linux and unlike Windows, is not exactly known as an appropriate platform for SMB shops. But, with a new focus on SMB sales, Sun has committed itself to chase down the SMB customer base to peddle its entry servers, mainly because IT spending in SMB shops is growing a lot faster than spending in the big data centers where Sun is a player.
