High Availability
That's Affordable, Reliable, Easy-to-Use
State-of-the-art high availability isn't as expensive and complex as you think. Not only does Echo2 cost about half of other solutions, it is so dependable, automated and self-managing that monitoring of the system usually takes less than an hour a day, and production-to-backup switchovers can be reliably accomplished in minutes.
For the Free White Paper, "High Availability - It's More Affordable Than You Think," call 1-800-957-4511, email to info@iterainc.com, or visit www.iterainc.com.

Will On Demand Put iSeries in Demand? Not Likely, Says Gartner
by Dan Burger
How is life in your IT world? Has anyone you know in this business come up to you recently (ever?) and said, "Life in the my IT department just keeps getting easier and easier every day"? Not likely. You have more demands from the business side. At best, you have predictable peaks and, at worst, unmanageable spikes. Does IBM's On Demand mantra offer you anything to make your life easier? Does it even relate to the iSeries? READ MORE >

So When Does the iSeries Get Java Engines?
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Last week, IBM unveiled a new midrange mainframe that does all the usual things in terms of giving more power for less money per unit of power, but the new machine also does something else that no other IBM machine--at least not yet--does. The new zSeries 890 (not to be confused with an iSeries Model 890) also includes a cool new feature: dedicated processors with substantially lower prices that do nothing but run Java code. The question now is: When will the iSeries get Java engines? READ MORE >

The Rumor Mill Grinds Away on Upcoming Announcements
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
There's always a lot of chatter before a big IBM announcement, but rarely does it coalesce into a complete picture of the products that are soon coming to market. Such is the case with OS/400 V5R3 and the future Power5-based "Squadron" servers. As I have been reporting over the past few weeks, IBM is widely expected to announce OS/400 V5R3 in the coming weeks. But the announcements could be bigger than this. READ MORE >

Mad Dog 21/21: Mushing Through Gorges
by Hesh Wiener
On March 21, after nine and a half days on the trail, musher Mitch Seavey won the Iditarod dogsled race, beating 86 other entrants and reminding modern mushers and their dogged fans of the sleds that brought diphtheria serum to Nome in 1925. IBM, too, has been big on commemorative events of late. It announced a new group of mainframes on April 7, the fortieth anniversary of the debut of the System/360. IBM probably spends a bit more managing its empire than dogsled racers spend grooming their dogs, but they basically think the same way. READ MORE >
