OVERVIEW
AIX 5L is an award winning operating system, delivering
superior scalability, reliability, and manageability.
Best of all, AIX 5L comes from IBM, the world's
leading technology company.
No one can match IBM's experience in providing
solutions to businesses of every size, in every
industry, in every corner of the world. And no
one can match IBM's reputation for service and
support. Whether you’re looking for planning
services, integration and installation, tuning,
migration, or everyday support, IBM provides service
and support to help keep your business running.
AIX 5L runs across the entire range of IBM eSeries
systems, from entry-level servers and workstations
to powerful supercomputers like the 32-way POWER4
pSeries systems, which runs some of the most complex
commercial and technical workloads in the world.
Not only does AIX 5L scale across systems of different
sizes, it scales across different technologies
and hardware platforms by delivering binary compatibility.
For instance, systems offered by hardware vendors
participating in the AIX Multiple Vendor Program
are qualified to run AIX 5L and licensed use to
the AIX trademark. So, as you move to newer versions
of AIX 5L, its excellent history of binary compatibility
provides confidence that your critical applications
will continue to run.
But scalability goes far beyond simply running
on larger systems or faster processors. True scalability
requires a comprehensive design that’s easily
adaptable to changing business needs, permitting
you to harness increased processing power with
a minimum of disruption. And the latest version
of AIX 5L Version 5.2, is tuned and balanced to
meet the increasing complexity of Internet activity
from network traffic to security to requests for
files.
