Page "IBM AIX" Paragraph 3

Among other variants, IBM later produced AIX Version 3 ( also known as AIX / 6000 ), based on System V Release 3, for their IBM POWER-based RS / 6000 platform.

Since 1990, AIX has served as the primary operating system for the RS / 6000 series ( later renamed IBM eServer pSeries, then IBM System p, and now IBM Power Systems ).

AIX Version 4, introduced in 1994, added symmetric multiprocessing with the introduction of the first RS / 6000 SMP servers and continued to evolve through the 1990s, culminating with AIX 4. 3. 3 in 1999.

Version 4. 1, in a slightly modified form, was also the standard operating system for the Apple Network Server systems sold by Apple Computer to complement the Macintosh line.
