IBM pitches eServer iSeries to wider user base

The IBM eServer iSeries platform, formerly known as AS/400, is very highly regarded by those who work with it day in and day out, says The Register.

Damn right it is. I'm one of them. The iSeries (still known as the AS/400), is a good box for business. Not exciting, not even particularly interesting, but solid, capable, reliable, predictable, cost effective, simple to administer, and scalable.

But for some reason, IBM has never made much of a noise about them. Might this change?
