A fully integrated, open application system for mission-critical workloads and innovations
Integrated OS with simple subscription model
IBM i is a fully integrated operating system, meaning the database, middleware, security, runtime, and hypervisor are all integrated into the stack and licensed as one. This integration helps clients lower TCO, simplify systems management, and do more with fewer resources.
Subscription-term licensing for IBM i brings value to clients by lowering upfront costs, simplifying adoption, and providing bundled access to the full breadth of IBM i capabilities. The new IBM i P30 Enterprise Edition and P20 Standard Edition deliver more value than standalone licenses, combining high availability, cyber resiliency, automation, and modernization tools in one cost-effective subscription.
IBM i integrates database, middleware, security, runtime, and hypervisor into one solution, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) and simplifying support for business applications.
IBM i 7.6 introduces the built-in multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure only authorized users can access systems and applications.
IBM i can be run on-prem, in an onsite private cloud with consumption-based pricing, or in a public cloud on IBM® Power® Virtual Server.
