| - | IBM designed IBM i as a "turnkey" operating system, requiring little or no on-site attention from IT staff during normal operation. As such, it has been described as "the driverless variant of IT infrastructure." For example, IBM i has a built-in Db2 database which does not require separate installation. Mass storage ("disks") can be RAIDed or mirrored; when either of those options is configured, one or more disks can be replaced without interrupting work. System administration is wizard-driven. Automatic self-care can schedule all common system maintenance, detect many failures and order spare parts and service automatically. | + | IBM designed IBM i as a "turnkey" operating system, requiring little or no on-site attention from IT staff during normal operation.
