  • Link Likes look for System i Modernization

    December 4, 2007 Alex Woodie

    Link Computer, a Pennsylvania IT consultancy, has partnered with the Australian software vendor looksoftware for its System i application modernization tools, the companies announced last week.

    Many of Link’s 350 customers in the mid-Pennsylvania region use the System i server, and are now considering their options for modernizing their key applications without extensive redevelopment or replacement, says Tim Link, president and CEO of Link Computer

    Link assisted its customers in this modernization quest, which had been mostly fruitless, up to this point. “We’ve trialed all the key alternatives in a practical evaluation and implementation process,” Link says.

    Then Link checked out looksoftware’s Dynamic Environment, a suite of tools for modernizing System i and System z applications. Link’s company was impressed with what it found. “We concluded that looksoftware’s products offer the fastest and easiest way to develop and implement real modernization results through reuse, instead of writing more code,” he says.

    Link and looksoftware are already working on a couple of projects together, and the future looks promising, says Pete Isaksson, a looksoftware executive based in Atlanta, Georgia. “Link’s large team of consultants are not only System i specialists, but also have strong expertise in multi-platform integration, Notes, and SharePoint, which are all important for enterprise application modernization,” Isaksson says.

    CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

    COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

    “Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”1

    Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

    UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

    Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

    A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

    Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

    Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS.  Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

    The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.

    Reach out to UCG Technologies to discuss your company’s security needs and develop a data protection plan that fits you best.
