Bang for the Buck: Enterprise i5 Servers Versus the Competition
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

If there is a general rule in the server business, it is this: The cost of server scalability rises faster than the increase in scalability. In an ideal world, servers would scale perfectly linearly, and vendors could just keep adding processors, memory, and I/O to boxes to help their customers support ever-larger workloads. Or, because this is 2006, they could support ever-more server consolidation. But, this being the real world, which has some limits of physics, scalability comes at a cost. READ MORE >

The Governor-Buster Saga Starts Again with MAX400
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Here we go again. And maybe, like Wagner's Ring Cycle, the saga of the OS/400 and i5/OS governor busters will ultimately have four cycles in it. Last week, yet another governor buster jumped into the fray, with a South Korean company called MAX400 Software launching a product called MAX400, which the company says can make raw batch or server capacity in an AS/400, iSeries, or i5 machine available to 5250 interactive workloads.

by Mary Lou Roberts

As I discussed in last week's issue of The Four Hundred in an article previewing the upcoming COMMON conference in Miami Beach in mid-September, each COMMON conference brings with it a discussion of the value of the conference and predictions about what major announcements are in store for the user group and for the vendors that participate in the OS/400 community.

Mad Dog 21/21: Frequent Deniers Club
by Hesh Wiener

Lots of people join clubs. They join social clubs whose members work together for their individual and collective benefit. They join professional clubs that make it easy for members to exchange information or address mutual concerns associated with a particular metier. They join special interest clubs for camaraderie and to further their avocations.

But just as a person can grab the wrong end of a club, a club can grab the wrong end of people. READ MORE >
