Background:
The IBM Advanced 36 was a midrange computer, introduced in 1994. It was designed to provide IBM System 36 users a more advanced processing platform at a smaller price and footprint than the larger AS 400 computer of 1988. In 1988, IBM introduced the "Application System 400," known as the AS 400. a high-performance, integrated server for complex business applications.
It also provided an upgrade path for the IBM System 36, which had been introduced in 1983, and the earlier system 38, which IBM had introduced back in 1978. As reported in COMPUTERWORLD Magazine's October 31st, 1994 issue, the “IBM Advanced 36” was built around a prototype version of the 64-bit Power PC microprocessor, and was the first system to implement IBM’s object oriented microcode. This film shows the A/S 400 Advanced 36 Model 9402.
The entry level system was priced at a low $12,000 (or about $25,000 today), and was available in three different configurations.
The AS 400 family in its various forms has greatly evolved over time, and although the original hardware is no longer produced, many systems are still in use by companies and organizations around the world.
