  • IBM Kills iAccess for Windows, Older RDi Versions

    April 18, 2018 Alex Woodie

    Spring is still weeks away in the Upper Midwest, where it still feels like winter. But that didn’t stop the IBM i leadership in Rochester, Minnesota from embarking upon some spring cleaning by sending out to pasture some development tooling and admin interfaces for IBM i, including older releases of RDi and all of iAccess for Windows.

    IBM yesterday announced that effective April 30, 2019, it will withdraw IBM i Access for Windows. That announcement puts the final nail in the coffin of the old Windows-based client that traces its roots back to OpsNav.

    Here’s the short announcement posted to …

  • GDPR Data Discovery On Tap from Raz-Lee

    April 18, 2018 Alex Woodie

    With less than six weeks to go before the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) goes into effect, it’s crunch time for remediation. For IBM i shops that aren’t sure where sensitive data resides in their databases, a power tool from Raz-Lee Security can provide some automated relief.

Backed by the central European Union government, the GDPR provides sweeping new rules that require any organization storing data about EU citizens to obtain consent for that data, to ensure that it’s protected, …

  • ‘Air Gap’ Your Data with Tape, LTO Group Says

    April 18, 2018 Alex Woodie

    Here’s one more reason why tape’s demise has been prematurely recorded: Tape helps to protect data by providing an “air gap” between live production systems and protected data. That’s according to a new report sponsored by the LTO group. In other news, IBM made an LTO announcement that’s pertinent to IBM i shops.

    In a new white paper issued last week, IDC raised the specter of tape-based storage systems providing an air gap that is actively thwarting attempts by cybercriminals to compromise production systems, in those that would otherwise be vulnerable to ransomware attacks.

    “Recently, tape has shown itself to …

  • Four Hundred Monitor, April 18

    April 18, 2018 Dan Burger

    Who runs the world? This week in Monitor we see a trend in stories from the web featuring female leadership. IBM is no newb to promoting women to leadership positions (do we really need to make the Ginni Rometty reference here?), and this week CNBC takes a closer look at IBM’s female-helmed blockchain team, which is unusual in the male-dominated space.

    IBM’s first chief privacy officer also speaks with AdWeek this week about the changes in corporate privacy over the last 20 years.
