IBM (NYSE: IBM) previewed today a major new release of its flagship integrated operating system, i5/OS, expected in 2008. i5/OS Version 6 will feature significant new security, Web services and virtualization capabilities to help businesses get the most out of their IT operations. IBM also announced the first System i offering to feature POWER6, the fastest microprocessor ever built (1).

“Today we’re announcing the first System i and i5/OS products from IBM’s new Power Systems business unit,” said Ross Mauri, general manager of IBM Power Systems. “Nearly half of IBM’s systems clients today have i5/OS installed in their enterprise. IBM will continue to build on the integrated, easy-to-use value proposition of i5/OS so clients can rely on this proven platform for their enterprise applications.”

Very cool, do check this article out, it mentions the new version of the OS that’s being launched sometime next year, interestingly this also brings a new System I with the Power6 processor which should bring improvements in performance and scalability.
