The hardware specs for IBM's new AS/400 may sound like a Web server on steroids, with a 2.1 terrabyte hard disk, a 64-bit processor and 20 gigabytes of memory. But the mini-computer's software features are even more of a wish list for the Web-enabled enterprise.
The new AS/400 line comes with payment-server software supporting SET (Secure Electronic Transaction); LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) for e-mail directory services; and native Java support conforming to the Java Beans specification.
"Many people still think of AS/400 as an SNA platform," says IBM vice president, server and workstation development, Jim Petzborn, "but for the past five years, the number one investment for AS/400 development has been in TCP/IP." IBM is marketing the new units to compete with NT and Unix systems in corporations where the Web site must be integrated with corporate applications.
