- neverartful 4y agoBack when IBM changed the branding on their hardware lines, it was done to help people identify WHY you would pick one platform versus another. z (mainframe) = "Zero downtime" i (as/400) = "integrated" (e.g., DB2 and stuff like processing queues is baked into the OS) p (rs/6000) = "performance" x (x86) = was sold off to Lenovo after a few years See the "p"? If you need maximum performance, you go with POWER and run AIX or Linux.
