IBM Introduced the AS/400 in 1988 as a minicomputer for general business and departmental use.

It remained in production until April 2008 when it was replaced by the IBM Power Systems line. The operating system also underwent several rebranding exercises with an initial introduction of OS/400 followed by i5/OS in line with the introduction of the eServer i5 servers featuring POWER5 processors and finally, IBM i coinciding with the 6.1 release.
