What are Risc6000(AIX) and AS400 (OS400) systems?

I saw these listed as part of a job description. What are they? Also, what does WMS operation mean? Thanks.

Without sounding like an ass, it means you need to study more before looking at those types of positions...

AS400 is what we use here at work to connect to homeoffice. We use as400 Visilink connectivity to emulate the program thorugh windows. We also have several old terminals connected to one central Server. AS400 Is an old IBM OS basically. Very basic, you use shortcut keys instead of any mouse, kinda like a little advanced DOS in a way.

AIX and Os400 are easy to use. i used to be Operations manager of both but that was like 5 years ago.
