Abstract
The revolution and evolution are two only ways of progress. This rule also applies to computer architecture, computer systems, informatics an Information Technology history. Examples of both of them may be easily identified. The spectacular example of evolution is IBMi. It may be assumed that basis of successful system evolving they are system foundations. First part of paper is a short description of IBMi foundations and history.
The system, even potentially evoluable, will not be evolute if is not widely used. It should be well-known, proposed as a solution in IT structure, and used. Hence the important thing is a proper knowledge of IT specialist and IT architects. This knowledge should be initiated as a part of academic education of IT specialists. The second part of the paper is a presentation of IBMi Series introduction into academic curriculum environment in Chair of System and Computer Networks at Wrocław University of Technology.
