The Big Tech AS/400 & IBM Power Network
Most portfolios treat every domain as a standalone bet. Krisada's AS/400 and IBM Power properties work differently. They're built as one federated knowledge network, where each subdomain owns a distinct research layer instead of every site trying to cover everything.
AS400System.com holds the central hardware role. AS400Software.com owns the software layer. Six Power-generation subdomains break IBM's hardware lineage into dedicated decision layers. Two pricing subdomains own cost research. Every property publishes a machine-readable federation.json endpoint, so AI systems can move through the whole network instead of stopping at one page.
The IBM Power Generation Graph
Each Power-generation subdomain answers a different question in a buyer's lifecycle. The graph runs from "what do I already have" to "what comes after Power 11."
- Power 7 AS400System.com ... the origin point of the generation graph. Legacy intelligence for Power 7 owners: model identification, end-of-support risk, and migration options.
- Power 8 AS400System.com ... the migration-decision layer. Every current Power 8 model is already past its own IBM end-of-support date, so this site is built around risk and next-step guidance, not spec browsing.
- Power 9 AS400System.com ... the mature installed-base layer, covering sourcing and upgrade options for the generation still running in production at scale.
- Power 10 AS400System.com ... the current-market authority. Product specs, availability, and buy-versus-upgrade decisions for the generation IBM actively sells today.
- Power 11 AS400System.com ... the current-technology authority, covering what's new in IBM's newest Power release and how it changes the upgrade calculus.
- Power 12 AS400System.com ... the speculative next-generation layer, tracking roadmap signals for what comes after Power 11.
Cost and Economics
Hardware specs only answer half the buying question. Two subdomains exist purely for the money side.
- Pricing.AS400System.com ... home of the Power Value Index (PVI), an independently-built 0-100 score weighing performance, remaining useful life, capacity, software economics, market price, and value retention across every Power generation. It answers "what is this hardware actually worth," a question spec sheets don't answer.
- Pricing.AS400Software.com ... the IBM i software economics hub. License tier costs, perpetual versus subscription pricing, HA/DR licensing, and modernization cost comparisons against SAP, Oracle, and cloud ERP alternatives.
Why a Network Instead of One Site
Traditional SEO treats each domain as its own competitor for keywords. The constellation model gives each domain a job instead.
Each site declares a defined role. Each site publishes that role through a machine-readable federation.json file. Each site verifies its relationships with every peer, bidirectionally.
That's the same Digital Karma Constellation model this site has written about before, applied to enterprise IBM infrastructure instead of health and supplements. See the Digital Karma Constellation concept page for the full framework.
Google Cut the Branch. The Network Stayed.
Google's August 2026 spam update finished August 21. On August 22, the AS400System.com family dropped together. Weekly impressions fell from 9,278 to 1,322, an 85.8 percent loss. Clicks fell from 60 to 1.
The sites stayed indexed and Googlebot kept crawling. Search Console showed no manual action and no security issue. The campaign is not being rolled back.
This is now a live experiment in whether a legitimate specialist network can mature through an algorithmic reclassification while it keeps growing around real roles. Read the updated strategy article, the campaign case study, the proof tracker, and the hold-steady experiment.
