U.S.A. Gets New OS/400 Systems Management Suite from SEA
by Alex Woodie

Software Engineering of America wants to shake up the market for OS/400 systems management software. The 22-year-old software vendor from Long Island has traditionally focused on providing utilities for the mainframe. But now, through a partnership with an Australian software firm, the company has launched a suite of nine OS/400 utilities that it calls the REV Suite for AS/400, and it intends to capture its share of the U.S. market.

Stampede's Web Performance Software Goes to Market
by Dan Burger

As more companies migrate to Web-based applications, the realities of high costs and mediocre performance become apparent. Much of the performance drain is related to bandwidth and network issues. Naturally, the speed at which business-critical applications are delivered has an impact on productivity, and correspondingly the bottom line costs. But the issue of performance is measured in both application speed and the timeframe to implement a Web-based system. Complexity can be a resource hog on the Web and on the implementation schedule.

It's Shocking!!!

The number of companies that spend a ton of money on high availability software that just doesn't cut it. Objects don't stay synchronized, systems bog down, switchovers are difficult, and the expense is enormous.

But it's different with iTera's Echo2 High Availability. Just ask our customers. In fact, many of them abandoned their old HA product and switched to Echo2.

Visara Launches ICON Line for Console Consolidation
by Alex Woodie

Big OS/400 shops looking to consolidate the number of consoles used to manage their collection of AS/400s and iSeries servers may want to check out the new twinax consoles that Visara International launched this month. Visara (formerly Memorex Telex) introduced the ICON-20T, a rack-mountable Lintel computer that serves up to 20 browser-based green-screen console sessions for OS/400 servers, and ICON-1T, which provides a single console session.

PeopleSoft Updates Its Other World
by Alex Woodie

PeopleSoft last week introduced a service pack for its World A8.1 product line that features a new HTML interface, among about 250 other enhancements. Service Pack 6 implements the same new capabilities that PeopleSoft brought to its more widely used World version A7.3 product line in March. However, some within PeopleSoft consider A8.1 to be a "hidden gem" because it's not talked about much, and it contains some advanced functionality you won't find in A7.3. READ MORE >

Correction

The article "BCD Announces RPG Code Converter, Outlines Web App Enhancements" has been corrected since it was first published. The triangle analogy in the second paragraph should have included Catapult, a BCD document management product. Also, the annual subscription fee for Nexus is $2,195 per server, not $3,500, as originally stated. IT Jungle regrets the errors. [Correction made 10/27/04.]
