Chapter 1. General description 17
1.7 Statement of direction
IBM plans to extend the capabilities of the IBM Sserver p5 product line by introducing
support for the i5/OS™ operating system. This support is planned for selected
IBM Sserver p5 570 and future high-end IBM Sserver p5 models. i5/OS support will
provide additional flexibility for large-scale server consolidation where AIX 5L™ and/or Linux
is the primary operating system. i5/OS support will be limited to one processor on selected
p5-570 models. This capability is planned to be available in the first half of 2005.
All statements regarding IBM's future direction and intent are subject to change or withdrawal
without notice, and represent goals and objectives only.
