A "statement of direction" from IBM has said that a full-blown
implementation of IBM's Unix version, AIX, on the iSeries mid-range servers
will be available--but not until 2004, although earlier hints had suggested
it might have been delivered this year.

iSeries servers can already run AIX programs through emulation in a
"portable application solution environment " or PASE, but users have been
hoping for a complete AIX implementation, running in its own logical
partition (LPAR) a technology that allows a server to be divided into
multiple machines each running a different operating system.

AIX in LPAR on the iSeries would allow users to consolidate servers, perhaps
doing away with little used pSeries machines, or adding extra partitions to
existing machines instead of buying new servers
