  • Micro Focus Updates RUMBA Emulator

    April 10, 2012 Alex Woodie

    Micro Focus issued new releases of RUMBA and Web-to-Host, its Windows- and Web-based terminal emulators that are popular in IBM i 5250 environments.

    RUMBA version 8.2, which shipped in November, gains several new features aimed at bolstering user productivity, including: support for IPv6; a new on-screen spell checker that supports a custom dictionary; new support for automatic and dynamic linking; and enhancements to its desktop profile management features.

    RUMBA 8.2 is also certified for FIPS 140-2, enabling it to be used in government applications. It’s also certified to be compatible with Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), as well as Microsoft’s App-V and Citrix Systems‘ XenApp virtualization software.

    A spokesperson for Micro Focus says RUMBA version 8.3 will ship in the late spring timeframe. For more information, see the vendor’s website at www.microfocus.com.

    Comprehensive Data Protection from Focal Point SG

    Your organization needs to be thinking differently about your backup & disaster recovery strategy

    Concerns of the Industry

    • Inefficient manual backup processes
    • Effectively storing data offsite
    • Developing and testing a concrete disaster recovery plan
    • Efficient access to data in a disaster scenario for necessary users
    • Risk of cyber security attack
    • Declining IT staff and resources

    The true cause of the above concerns is an organization’s status quo – 80% of IBM i users currently backup to tape and 40% of companies have no DR plan at all. Don’t wait for a disaster to take action.

    The new way to ensure cost-effective safety

    • Automated cloud backup
    • Two (2) remote sites – redundant storage, power, internet pipe, firewalls, etc.
    • Data encryption at all times – in-flight and at-rest
    • Fully managed remote hardware DR, including remote VPN access for necessary users
    • Regularly simulated phishing tests and cyber security training

    Potential “landmines” in solutions to avoid

    • Single point of storage – no redundancy
    • Misleading data analysis, compression/de-dup ratios, sizing of necessary computer resources for backup and DR
    • Large-scale cloud storage with difficult recovery
    • Inability to meet RTO/RPO

    Don’t get caught like the many organizations we’ve seen with inefficient exposed backup data and no DR plan!

    What VAULT400 has to offer

    Backup

    • Native software agent schedules backups to the Focal Point SG cloud based on your retention scheme

    • 60 days of remote VPN access available to unlimited users in event of a disaster
    • Documented reports to ensure defined SLAs are met
