by Alex Woodie

IBM doesn't think i5/OS is an appropriate platform on which to develop a radio frequency identification (RFID) application, but that doesn't mean there is no demand for such an application. In fact, CYBRA and Solzon, by their account the only two software companies developing RFID software that runs under i5/OS, announced earlier this month that they are joining forces, and combining their respective strengths in i5/OS product development and real-world implementation to give System i customers the strongest option for native RFID deployment.

One of the least expensive and easiest to use methods has been developed by ProData Computer Services. Its Database Utility (DBU) is used by thousands of System i shops to access relational database systems, and earlier this year DBU Remote Database plug-in (DBU RDB) opened up cross-platform database access.

Vision Tackles i5/OS Application Performance with Director 7.0
by Alex Woodie

Vision Solutions is best known as a provider of high availability software for the System i server. After all, since it has purchased three of its former competitors, Vision pretty much now owns that market.
