Editorial Review:
One of the best-kept secrets in the information technology (IT) industry is a system that has sold more than 500,000 units worldwide. This box can be found in more than 95 percent of Fortune 100 companies in the United States. There's an immense loyalty among those who use this box, and a unique curiosity about it by those who don't. The system? IBM's AS400. The selection of the right hardware platform is a critical decision in the life of a business. The hardware platform that an enterprise bases its future on can have costly consequences if the wrong decision is made. On the other hand, the right solution can make a significant contribution to the success of a business.
