High Availability
That's Affordable, Reliable, Easy-to-Use
State-of-the-art high availability isn't as expensive and complex as you think. Not only does Echo2 cost about half of other solutions, it is so dependable, automated and self-managing that monitoring of the system usually takes less than an hour a day, and production-to-backup switchovers can be reliably accomplished in minutes.

For the Free White Paper, "High Availability - It's More Affordable Than You Think," call 1-800-957-4511, email to info@iterainc.com, or visit www.iterainc.com.

by Alex Woodie

MKS has delivered enhancements to Implementer, its OS/400 software configuration management (SCM) system, that it says will help companies provide greater transparency into business process changes, as required by government mandates such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Magic Throws iBOLT into RFID Fray
by Alex Woodie

Magic Software made its first move into the burgeoning market for radio frequency identification (RFID) technology last week. Magic officials provided a high-level view of how its integration software, called iBOLT, will be used to glue events captured by RFID readers with ERP and "legacy" OS/400 applications.
