iSeries/System i / System p / Power Systems Purchasing

Power Systems is the new name of IBM's Power Architecture-based server line, including both System i and System p server platforms, and running either IBM i (formerly i5/OS and OS/400), AIX or Linux operating systems. 

Omnis is available to help consult on purchasing the correct hardware and associated software for your business. The current lineup of Power Systems servers includes:

• Power 520 Express
• Power 550 Express
• Power 560 Express
• Power 570
• Power 575
• Power 590
• Power 595
• Web Access to AS/400 Data

We use Microsoft's .Net, PHP, and Java (JSP) to design websites that access AS/400 / iSeries data in real-time, for reporting, order entry, and any other custom applications. AS/400 data can be accessed using JDBC (with Java) or ODBC drivers, and also IBM's DDM (Distributed Data Management). We can design a custom solution to work with your needs, or compliment existing infrastructure.

E-Commerce with your AS/400

Using your current AS/400 infrastructure with a e-commerce web application installed can give you the best of both worlds:

• Provides continued value from existing order-entry applications already in use on your AS/400 and iSeries
• Gives you built-in authorization for credit card purchases through providers such as Net.Commerce, DataCash Ltd., your store, or other applications
• Shopping carts can be tailored and customized for your specific needs
• Affords even small businesses the opportunity to open new markets and increase revenue by providing an easy way to buy and sell their products

We can provide cost-effective solutions for legacy IBM systems, both for continued use and backup/recovery. Contact us for more information.
