Faster i5 595 Rumored to Be Imminent
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

The word on the street is that within the next month or so, IBM will roll out a faster high-end System i5 box, one that matches the basic feeds and speeds of the most powerful System p5 servers that Big Blue sells. It is not clear if this supposed upgrade to the System i5 595 machine will be done as a formal launch or as a special request box that only the largest i5/OS shops are even aware of. READ MORE >

IBM Moves OS/400 V5R3 Towards the Door, Rejiggers i5 Prices
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

As part of its launch of upgraded disk controllers and disk enclosures for the System i5 line last week, IBM also made a bunch of little changes to prices on selected features.

Zend Upgrades Commercial Add-Ons for Its PHP Engine
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

PHP creator and commercializer Zend Technologies will today announce the third release of its Zend Platform PHP engine for enterprise-grade PHP applications. The Zend Platform software takes the open source PHP engine, which is distributed with open source Linux operating systems under a GPL license, and adds features to it for content caching, load balancing, high availability clustering, and monitoring and management. The basic PHP engine is free, but Zend Platform costs money, and the price varies depending on the features companies want to use. READ MORE >


As I See It: The Elusive Leader
by Victor Rozek

You have to have a degree in forbearance to read the Harvard Business Review. As you might expect, any publication boasting the Harvard imprimatur is not only likely to be pricey (which at $16.95 per issue it most assuredly is), but its pages are guaranteed to be brimming with Ivy League importance. Granted, the magazine publishes the results of scholarship and research, but it's all so weighty and earnest that even the self-evident becomes profound by virtue of inclusion. READ MORE >
