No, it's not about the confusing naming schemes that Big Blue has cooked up for his beloved IBM i platform (that's just a minor beef). The big one has to do with the fact that some key IBM Lotus Notes and Domino software doesn't run on the IBM i platform. But instead of quietly stewing about it, Pitcher has set out to change things, and judging from his experience at last week's Lotusphere conference, he's having success. http://www.itjungle.com/fhs/fhs012412-story01.html January 24, 2012 http://www.itjungle.com/fhs/fhs012412-story02.html Being prepared for a disaster makes good business sense, especially with the recent spate of major disasters occurring recently in the United States. For IBM i shops, disaster preparedness requires a little extra planning and capability. One company that's growing its specialized IBM i disaster recovery (DR) service business is TECA Data Safe, which provides everything a company needs to recover its IBM i environment, including servers, bandwidth, and--most importantly--experienced staff. http://www.itjungle.com/fhs/fhs012412-story02.html January 24, 2012 http://www.itjungle.com/fhs/fhs012412-story03.html You can't beat free. Earlier this month, Raz-Lee Security announced that it's giving away copies of its IBM i antivirus software, which is based on the open source ClamAV engine. The free version doesn't include some of the more advanced features that are available in the enterprise version of the software, but it will help IBM i shops detect and eliminate Windows malware that can infect and be distributed via the Integrated File System. http://www.itjungle.com/fhs/fhs012412-story03.html January 24, 2012 http://www.itjungle.com/fhs/fhs012412-story04.html Symtrax last week unveiled Compleo Suite 5, a major new version of its line of output management software for IBM i and other platforms. With version 5, Symtrax has added a Web-based interface for the first time, providing an alternative to its Windows-based client.
