It used to be percieved as System/38 all over again. As well as a souped up System/36. AS/400 evolved from that over the years, and now it's just "i" (although we all still know it as AS/400).
Thanks for your question. Helpsystems has several product that monitor the performance of IBMi and AIX on the Power platform. Running a program in AIX vs IBMi (via PASE) is a question of data location and OS skill level. For example, if the program is access data in a DB2 database on IBMi, the PASE environment might run as fast or faster. If the program is accessing data external to the IBMi, then other factors come into play. For example, location, network, bandwidth, etc. So the typical answer is it depends. This is where Helpsystems Robot Monitor or Performance Navigator can be useful in monitoring all aspect the resources job consume (CPU, memory, disk, etc). Hope this is helpful and please reach out for a more detail discussion.
You are right, most of us still call it AS/400, if IBM relaunches this product including the legendary AS/400 name in a new product, no one would need much explanation to know what we are talking about.
What a fascinating presentation ! Packed with so much technical contents.

Can you pls provide some info about PASE vs AIX performance (assuming the same hardware is used)?

No one calls it IBM i over here, STILL SO MANY YEARS LATER.
What a silly rebranding, there was no reason whatsoever to get rid of AS/400 name

Why job opportunities are sinking in AS400 ( IBM i)???
because there aren't many left running
