New Fast400 Reseller Is Raring to Go
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

If you thought the controversy surrounding the Fast400 green-screen governor buster would go away with the advent of the new server packaging of OS/400 with V5R2 in January 2003, and with i5/OS V5R3 in May 2004, or with the revelation of a lawsuit between IBM and Jim Stracka (the man behind Tiger Tools, which launched the Fast400 tools in late 2001), you were wrong. The controversy is set to explode again as Stracka has hired a new company to sell Fast400 in the Americas region. READ MORE >

Servers Sell Well in Q2, Say Gartner and IDC
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

As I See It: Commoditizing Privacy
by Victor Rozek

The reason why the word "privacy" doesn't appear in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights is probably that those noble documents were written before computers were invented.

It's Shocking!!!

The number of companies that spend a ton of money on high availability software that just doesn't cut it. Objects don't stay synchronized, systems bog down, switchovers are difficult, and the expense is enormous.
