FAQs
Does IBM still make iSeries?
IBM no longer manufactures the iSeries. However, they continue to support and develop its successor, the IBM Power Systems.

These modern systems continue to support the applications and data that initially ran on the iSeries, providing enhanced performance, scalability, and reliability.
If you have existing iSeries hardware, we can still provide comprehensive maintenance and support to ensure it operates smoothly and efficiently. Additionally, we can help you plan and execute an upgrade to the latest IBM Power Systems if you want to modernize your infrastructure.
