  • iSeries i5 Machines Withdrawn from Marketing

    April 10, 2006 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    If you are interested in getting an iSeries i5 machine, you better do it before June 1, because after that, IBM will stop making and selling them. Last week, IBM withdrew the first generation of Power5 machines from marketing, and the last day you can order one of these boxes from IBM is May 30. That gives these Power5 machines an economic life of about two years. IBM is also removing from marketing the OS/400 Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition, HA Edition, Solution Edition, and Domino Edition variants of these boxes. Processors for these machines will also be discontinued.

    IBM’s withdrawal from marketing of the Power5 machines and its reliance on sales of Power5+ models does not mean that Power5-based machines will not be available through the reseller channel and used equipment dealers. Resellers will have stocks of the original iSeries i5 machines around for a while, and dealers will get their hands on them for many years to come. Machines that are five or six years old are still available on the second-hand market, as has been the case for as long as anyone can remember in the IBM midrange.

    With COVID-19 wreaking havoc, cybercriminals are taking advantage of the global impact that it has had on our families, our businesses and our societies. It is more important now than ever to ensure that IT systems are protected, so that when all of this is behind us, we can get back to business as usual as quickly as possible.

    iSecurity Anti-Ransomware protects organizations against ransomware attacks and other kinds of malware that may access and change business-critical data on your IBM i. It even protects against zero-day attacks. Anti-Viruses can only report on the damage an attack has caused, but not stop it.

    iSecurity Anti-Ransomware has been recently enhanced with a Self-Test feature that allows you to simulate a ransomware attack on your IBM i. The simulated attack is limited to the test folder and cannot harm any other folders or files. This new feature lets organizations see how they are protected against known or unknown ransomware.

    Key Features:

    • Real-time scanning for known and unknown ransomware threats.
    • Blocks and disconnects the intruder.
    • Instantaneously sends alerts to SIEM as well as the offending computer.
    • Self-Test for attack simulation
    • Classification of the attack based on log.
    • Automatic updates with the most current ransomware definitions.
