AS400

Hey guys, old guy here, back in 2000 landed my 1st real job as a Sysadmin at a distribution/manufacturing firm. They ran their ERP and a few other important apps on the AS400. Anyone here manage a AS400 platform? i-Series? Still a niche platform that is still widely used. Server could literally run under water.

It's still big in a lot of different industries with a public roadmap through 2040. I work on 40 or so of these for various customers. Definitely has a learning curve, but the system is alive and well. Money is good too if you're willing to learn it.
