iTera furthered its strategy of developing cheaper, simpler high availability software for iSeries servers last week, when it announced the general availability of GuardianSave, a new disaster recovery tool also intended to reduce downtime associated with performing data backups and full-system saves. iTera designed GuardianSave to protect users from losing transactional data between regular backups by using OS/400's journaling feature to send that transactional data offsite, to a second OS/400 server or even a garden variety PC running Linux.

ABAS Software, a 23-year-old German software developer, was one of the first ERP vendors to embrace the fledgling Linux operating system back in 1995.

Can't figure out LAN/WAN line service time? Don't know their IP addresses anyway? ONLY $99!!
TestIP/400 can give you relief!!
Why TestIP/400? Because there is no other HOST AS/400 way to determine the response component of the LAN/WAN itself to the overall response time users are seeing. TIP/400 uses low-level APIs to determine the IP addresses, rather than the user needing to know them. LAN/WAN responses times are shown via barcharts for min/avg/max to the user's terminal from the central AS/400 system.
