IBM later introduced LPARs to their [[IBM i|iSeries]] and [[IBM pSeries|pSeries]] servers in 1999 and 2001, respectively,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix-vioserver-v2/index.html |title=POWER5 Virtualization: How to set up the Virtual I/O Server |access-date=2008-09-25 |date=2005-06-29 |first=Nigel |last=Griffiths |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080611131520/http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix-vioserver-v2/index.html |archive-date=2008-06-11 }}</ref> albeit with varying technical specifications. Multiple operating systems are compatible with LPARs, including [[z/OS]], [[z/VM]], [[z/VSE]], [[z/TPF]], [[AIX operating system|AIX]], [[Linux]], and [[IBM i]]. In [[disk array|storage systems]], such as the IBM TotalStorage DS8000, LPARs allow for multiple virtual instances of a storage array to exist within a single physical array.
