Plasmon's New UDO Media Destroys Records, By Design
by Alex Woodie

In the hit TV show "Mission: Impossible," team members were told "this tape will self-destruct in five seconds," and it always did, in a tiny puff of smoke. While AS/400 shops typically aren't involved in fighting international espionage, they do need a (legal) way to keep the prying eyes of lawyers off their backups and archives.

by Dan Burger

Red Oak Rides Eclipse to Application Integration Party
by Dan Burger

Two things can be said about integrating legacy applications: a majority of companies have projects to accomplish integration and few can boast about achieving it.
