<h1 class="topictitle1">Why use the integrated file system</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>The integrated file system enhances the already extensive data
|
||
|
|
management capabilities of <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> with
|
||
|
|
additional capabilities to better support emerging and future forms of information
|
||
|
|
processing, such as client/server, open systems, and multimedia.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use the integrated file system to do the following things:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Provide fast access to <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> data,
|
||
|
|
especially for applications such as iSeries™ Access that use the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> file server.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Allow more efficient handling of types of stream data, such as images,
|
||
|
|
audio, and video.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Provide a file system base and a directory base for
|
||
|
|
supporting open system standards based on the UNIX<sup>®</sup> operating system, such as Portable
|
||
|
|
Operating System Interface for Computer Environments (POSIX) and X/Open Portability
|
||
|
|
Guide (XPG). This file structure and this directory structure also provides
|
||
|
|
a familiar environment for users of PC operating systems, such as Disk Operating
|
||
|
|
System (DOS) and Windows<sup>®</sup> operating systems.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Allow file support with unique capabilities (such as record-oriented database
|
||
|
|
files, UNIX operating
|
||
|
|
system-based stream files, and file serving) to be handled as separate file
|
||
|
|
systems, while allowing them all to be managed through a common interface. <div class="fignone"><span class="figcap">Figure 1. A common interface to separate file systems</span><br /><img src="rv3n062.gif" alt="A common interface to separate file systems" /><br /></div>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Allow PC users to take better advantage of their graphical user interface.
|
||
|
|
For example, Windows users can use the Windows graphical tools to operate on iSeries server
|
||
|
|
stream files and other objects in the same way they operate on files stored
|
||
|
|
on their PCs.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Provide continuity of object names and associated object information across
|
||
|
|
national languages. For example, this ensures that individual characters remain
|
||
|
|
the same when switching from the code page of one language to the code page
|
||
|
|
of another language.</li>
