Introduction
IBM AS400
The IBM AS/400 (Application System/400) is a family of midrange computers from IBM. It is a multiuser, multitasking and very secure system.
- AS400 is based on Layered machine architecture. It enables user to move to new hardware technology at any time, without disrupting their application programs.
- It has Object orientation i.e. everything that can be stored or retrieved on the system is known as an “objects”. AS400 can recognize only the object types that have been defined for it. It cannot identify any unknown objects that don’t seem to be known. It adds extra security to the system.
- It provides contiguous memory between main storage and disk storage. It provides authority to add any disk space so that use. Another feature of AS400 is that it is very secure system making it to store sensitive data. It incorporates security at various levels. Any user can be limited to access/process only particular information on the system.
