consistency is one of the cornerstones of iSeries ease of use. Ease-of-use
translates into higher productivity for its users and easier systems management.
The cornerstone functions are highlighted next.
i5/OS and OS/400 integrated functions
The following sections explain the functions that are integrated into the i5/OS and
OS/400 operating system.
NetServer: File and print serving
iSeries NetServer is an operating system function that is used to satisfy file and
print serving needs for end users. NetServer unites the IFS and iSeries output
queues into the Microsoft Network Neighborhood. User benefits include better
control of user visibility to resources, for example. The only directories or printers
that can be seen by end users are those set up as “shared” by an administrator
or resource owner.
