Pitcher's Lotus-on-IBM-i Campaign Pays Dividends
by Alex Woodie

Steve Pitcher has a major beef with IBM. 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.

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 (IFS).
