iSeries Resellers Weigh In on the State of the Box
by Dan Burger

If you follow the IBM financial reports, you know 2004 was not a banner year for the iSeries, and 2003 was not so great, either. Overall revenue in 2004 was off over 20 percent. Sales were down every quarter, although the fourth quarter was promising in that sales were only off by 9 percent.. While 2003 was helped somewhat by the Green Streak promotions, which pumped up iSeries sales with discounted machine, 2004 was hurt by the transition to the i5. READ MORE >

 

OS/400 PASE Is Not Dead
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

My apologies to the IBMers and the folks at OS/400 shops whose blood pressure shot up last week after I said that IBM had apparently withdrawn support for the OS/400 Portable Applications Solution Environment, or PASE, AIX runtime environment. This is not what IBM meant to convey in its product announcements from the week earlier, and if I had stopped to think for more than one second about it, I would have remembered that withdrawing PASE is impossible.

What would it cost your company if your
iSeries was down for 2½ days?

One large iSeries shop recently experienced a crippling system failure followed by a series of complications that kept the system down for 2½ days!

Fortunately they had just installed iTera's Echo2 High Availability.

The result: no data was lost, little downtime occurred and users barely had a clue.

IBM Focuses on Usability with HATS 6.0
by Alex Woodie

IBM is shipping a new version of its Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) software that it says makes it even easier to convert and deliver HTML-based screens and Web services from 5250 and 3270 datastreams. HATS version 6.0, which IBM announced two weeks ago, enables users to customize their new applications by simply dragging and dropping components in the HATS editor. It includes support for HTML DDS keywords, among other enhancements aimed at simplifying the screen customization process and delivering a richer Web interface. READ MORE >

 

Mad Dog 21/21: Darned Coyote
by Hesh Wiener

It's a common enough experience. You ask yourself, "What am I doing here?" Don't think of this as a moment of doubt or confusion. Think of it as an introduction to cosmology, and as one of the many questions for which there may be no answer--not yet, maybe not ever--at least for mankind. But don't let that discourage you or keep you from asking other difficult questions such as, "Just how many different computer architectures do we need?" READ MORE >
