IBM i 7.5 operating system release

As some of our customers will be aware, IBM is rolling out their latest enhancements to the Power 9 / Power 10 server operating system – IBM i 7.5 will be available from May 10th 2022. A full copy of IBM’s release announcement can be found here.

What is an IBM Power server you ask? IBM describes their servers as built for the most demanding, data-intensive computing on earth. Power servers are designed to manage the most data-intensive workloads imaginable, while keeping the business protected. IBM would also highlight their Power platform’s scalability and reliability (usually measured through uptime / availability) ensuring that any business can make demands of their server platform performance consistently.

PacSol are currently in the process of assessing the compatibility of our software applications with the new operating system release which includes enhancements to security, networking, system administration and Db2 amongst other things. PacSol will contact our ImageView and ViewPoint customers in the near future to confirm the completion of our IBM i 7.5 certification. Should you have any specific questions / requirements related to the latest IBM i operating system release (in relation to our products) please contact PacSol support directly.
