Cool Stuff: Transitive Emulates Server Platforms on Other Iron
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
What if you could run OS/400, AIX, and mainframe applications on the same box? What if that box could be powered by Itanium, Opteron, X86-X64, or Power/PowerPC processors? This would be pretty cool, right? And it would definitely shake up the server market. Well, a nearly magical piece of software called QuickTransit, created by a little known company called Transitive, does just such a thing, and that software is poised to change the server market in a big way.

Server Market Is Solid in Q1, Says Gartner
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The first quarter of any year is not usually one to brag about, but in 2005, the first quarter was not so bad. Not only were worldwide server shipments up by 10.7 percent to 1.745 million units, according to the box counters at IT market researcher Gartner, but aggregate revenues were also up by 4.1 percent to $12.33 billion. If server sales are any indicator of stability in the IT market, then the IT recovery we saw in late 2003 and through 2004 is under way. READ MORE >

The ERP Life Cycle: From Birth to Death and Birth Again
by Andy Klee
As a long time JD Eddie (employed by JD Edwards from 1989 to 1998), and now CEO of a JDE and SAP services firm, I've seen the ebb and flow of ERP from the vendor point of view for 16 years.

Shaking IT Up: In a Crisis, A Good Manager Is an Absent Manager
by Kevin Vandever
It's 3:00 am, and you've just been jolted out of bed by your company's help desk. You are groggy, but instinctively you get up, spark up the laptop, and log in to the system. It takes you a little while to clear the cobwebs, but you soon gather yourself and dig into the issue at hand.
