  • DB2/400: The Heart of a Supercomputer Cluster?

    July 27, 2004 Alex Woodie

    When you think of grid computing, chances are you envision clusters of computers working to solve a scientific problem. Base One International, a New York City developer of grid software, is working to change that preconception with its development tools that create a “virtual supercomputer cluster” of PCs built around a database, such as DB2/400, that is capable of tackling everyday back-office processing.

    Steve Asherman, president, chief technology officer, and co-founder of Base One, looks at all the work being done around Web services to connect disparate applications and platforms and wonders why it has to be so complex.

    Affirmative Computer is launching two new twinax controllers for connecting legacy AS/400 displays and printers to OS/400 servers via the IP.

    July 27, 2004 Alex Woodie

    Michaels, ross & cole last week announced M-Power, a new development tool for Java largely based on the mrc-Productivity Series development environment. As we previously reported, M-Power runs on all major databases and platforms and, as mrc points out, enables users to use inexpensive PCs to develop, test, and even run Web applications that previously would have been tethered, under mrc-Productivity Series, to an OS/400 server.

    Chicago-based mrc has been hinting at M-Power for several months through an ad campaign featuring Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. In June, mrc announced that it would begin shipping its new development tool in
