META Group Study Finds OS/400 Quite the Deal
by Alex Woodie
It is significantly less expensive to implement and run ERP applications on OS/400 than on other popular server operating system environments, according to a new study by META Group. The study found that, compared with installing and running ERP applications on the Windows NT, Windows 2000, AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris platforms, OS/400-based ERP costs anywhere from two to five times less over a one-year period, and seven times less over a three-year period.

Admin Alert: Copying IFS Directories Between Two iSeries, Part 2
by Joe Hertvik

At the end of that article, I saved an IFS directory called tfh to a save file called ADMIN/TFHSAVE. This week, I'll cover how to send your save file to another iSeries box and restore that tfh directory on that box. READ MORE >

Shaking IT Up: Curing Your Headache by Smashing Your Big Toe
by Kevin Vandever
"Will it scale" is a question rarely asked during the iSeries software development cycle. Worrying about scalability is usually left to systems administrators, because they're in constant communication with the application developers and are involved in testing and analysis during development.
