Power Systems: AIX

AIX is a UNIX operating system based on open standards that delivers high levels of security, integration, flexibility and reliability. All of these components are essential for meeting the demands of today's information technology environments.

Benefits

Our Power Systems program includes a worldwide community of participating schools, IBM technical experts, customers and business partners. There are benefits for everyone:

• Professors can build relationships with industry, increase employment opportunities for students, and gain access to a wide variety of resources.
• Students can advertise their talents in our Student Opportunity System resume database.
• Employers can find schools that are teaching Power Systems and students with the skills they need.

Resources

We have a wide array of resources to help you learn and teach AIX, including no-charge training and professionally developed courseware that you can use in the classroom. But, the best news is that we offer Academic Initiative members remote virtual access to the Power Systems environment (so that you don't have to install and maintain the systems) or significant discounts if do you choose to lease or buy.
