Over the years IBM have changed the name they use in marketing the systems, so the terms AS/400, iSeries and i5 can all be found in use. This can be quite confusing. You can write programs for the machines in many different languages, including some that you won't find in many other places, for example RPG.

The IBM System i is IBM's previous generation of mid-range computer systems for IBM i users, and was subsequently replaced by the IBM Power Systems in April 2008. The platform was first introduced as AS/400 in 1987 and later renamed as the eServer iSeries in 2000. As part of IBM's Systems branding initiative in 2006, it was again renamed to System i.
