Ivo Jansch has a recent post made the other day that takes a look at one of the recent offerings from IBM targeted at PHP developers - the functionality to allow PHP to run on their System i platform.   Some of the developers at Ibuildings are working with PHP on IBM's System-i platform. If that name doesn't ring a bell, it has been called 'iSeries' for a while and it's basically a new name for the old AS/400. [...] Recently IBM and Zend have teamed up to port PHP to the i5/OS operating system. So far this port seems succesful; one of the reasons is perhaps that PHP is easier to adopt by traditional System-i developers than Java, which forces you to learn Object Oriented Programming.   He makes mention of the db2 database extension you can use to access the database as well as a "i5 toolkit" to help with the same. He even links to an article talking about it.

(Source: Network Appliance)  Microsoft Exchange Server has evolved into a critical application for many companies. Legacy storage infrastructures based on traditional direct-attached storage (DAS) are insufficient for meeting service level requirements associated with data availability, recoverability, manageability, and scalability.  Leveraging an iSCSI-based storage network, Snapshot&trade; technology-based recovery mechanisms, and storage virtualization technologies provides an appropriate infrastructure for meeting the increasingly demanding requirements of Exchange - at a cost structure appropriate for Microsoft Windows&reg; environments.
