  • New Efficiency Goals Set by Climate Savers Computing Initiative

    June 18, 2007 Alex Woodie

    Intel and Google last week joined dozens of other top tech companies and competitors in the creation of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, a new organization dedicated to making PCs and servers more energy efficient and, hopefully, better for the environment.

    They were joined by Microsoft, IBM, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and about 35 other technology vendors in founding the Climate Savers Computing Initiative. The group and its goals are modeled after the World Wildlife Fund’s Climate Savers program.

    The group’s initial goal is to encourage computer and component manufacturers to build products that meet or surpass

  • The Web Runtime Tax: The Tax Man Cometh, Again

    June 18, 2007 Brian Kelly

    On February 5, I had the pleasure of applying for a U.S. passport for an exotic cruise I am taking this summer, but I was hoping that I might expedite the process so that I could use the passport to fly into Toronto, Canada, for a one-day IBM pre-announcement briefing on iSeries Application Development-the WebSphere Development Studio Client (WDSc) in particular.

    Unfortunately for me, without a trip to Philadelphia or Harrisburg, the time for which I could ill afford, my passport would not arrive in time to fly to the February 22, 2007, event. In mid-January, the rules changed and

  • Adoption of VoIP Tied to Relief from Phone Expenses

    June 18, 2007 Dan Burger

    Figuring out what to do with voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) is still in the noodling process. There are several milestone installations up and running and the spot light is on them to prove the worthiness of this technology. IBM executives, like System i general manager Mark Shearer, are very pro VoIP because it is an application-oriented technology that provides another workload for his application-oriented server line. However, for most people, thinking about voice communications in terms of applications and databases instead of wires leading to the phone company brings on brain cramps.

    Terry Boulais has been on the front

  • Vision Solutions Acquires HA Rival Lakeview Technology

    June 18, 2007 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Tectonic shifts continue a-pace in what was formerly the quiet land of the OS/400 and i5/OS ecosystem as Vision Solutions, the dominant supplier of high availability software for the System i platform, announced last Wednesday that it has acquired rival Lakeview Technology. Thoma Cressey Bravo, the private equity firm that bought Vision Solutions late last year and then followed it up by acquiring HA rival iTera, is funding the Lakeview Technology acquisition.

    Given that Vision Solutions and Lakeview Technology are privately held firms, financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

    You might have noticed that the

  • IBM Rejiggers BladeCenter for SMBs

    June 13, 2007 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    If you want to sell servers to small and medium businesses, here is a very simple rule of thumb: Engineer a box that plugs into a normal wall outlet, like a PC does, and they will proliferate like mushrooms in a musty cave. Try to sell a sophisticated 220-volt blade server chassis to these customers, and SMB shops will balk and therefore not receive the many benefits of the blade server architecture.

    With a new BladeCenter-S chassis that IBM previewed today and that it plans to start selling in the fourth quarter, the company hopes to change the dynamics of
