Big Blue Should Do Power Windows, Too
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
For many years, there has been a lot of talk about whether IBM and Microsoft should create a 64-bit variant of the Windows server environment for IBM's Power family of RISC processors. With the advent of the second-generation of Microsoft's Xbox game machine, code-named "Xenon," the issue is very nearly a moot one from a technical standpoint. A lot of the work on the hardware abstraction layer to make Windows work--again--on the Power architecture will be done. READ MORE >

PeopleSoft Fires Conway, Brings Back Founder
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
There's never a dull moment at ERP application powerhouse PeopleSoft. In a surprise move last Friday morning, the board of directors of the company announced that they had lost confidence in Craig Conway, the company's president and CEO, and had summarily dismissed him, while re-appointing founder and chairman of the board, Dave Duffield, as CEO, effectively immediately.

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.
But it's different with iTera's Echo2 High Availability. Just ask our customers. In fact, many of them abandoned their old HA product and switched to Echo2.

Azul's Network-Attached Processing to Shake Up Server Market
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The advent of n-tier computing, where the database, application, and presentation layers of an application are spread out over multiple, incompatible servers, has allowed much more diverse and flexible applications than would have been possible or affordable using central hosts or even simple client/server architectures. But n-tier architectures have their limitations, and Azul Systems, a secretive startup founded in April 2002, thinks it has an answer to the nightmare of managing those application servers.

Book Excerpt: 'Can the AS/400 Survive IBM?'
by Brian Kelly
At this point in the book, it is no secret that IBM's biggest AS/400 problem is that it fails to market the machine. The company has restructured its business as a services and software supplier, and that is at the heart of its problem. Hardware, including the AS/400 does not count for much anymore. Some of us think that a little care and feeding and marketing could have and could still help that. If you take a trip to IBM's main Web site, www.ibm.com, it is difficult to find anything about its hardware products, but there sure is a lot about solutions. Though solutions may include hardware, the primary ingredients are software and tailoring services. READ MORE >
