  • IBM’s Own Positioning Of Power Systems Revealed

    September 24, 2018 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    We don’t get a lot of data about how the Power Systems business is doing out of Big Blue these days, and we get even less, in terms of specifics, about the markets that IBM is chasing and how well or poorly it thinks it is doing in this regard. We get a snippet here and there from the quarterly results, we get some insight from the quarterly market trackers from IDC and Gartner, but not much else.

    Digging around through some documents relating to the Power9 rollout, we stumbled across a few interesting charts that gives us at least …

    September 24, 2018 Alex Woodie

    IBM hasn’t exactly been knocking the cover off the ball lately when it comes to the Domino family of products running on IBM i, or any platform for that matter. But when IBM and its new development partner HCL finally unveil Domino 10 to the world on October 9, it will be the start of a great comeback story.

    In my previous article I discussed the use of the standard SOUNDEX and DIFFERENCE functions for phonetic processing. I also identified the major problems with SOUNDEX (based on U.S. English and the first character is static) and DIFFERENCE (loose because it is based on SOUNDEX).

    In this article I will discuss how to tackle these problems by writing a customized phonetic function to use in place of or in conjunction with SOUNDEX. The good news is that you do not have to become an expert in phonetics — others have already done the job for you. There are a number …

  • IBM Global Financing Deals To Push Power E950 And E980 Sales

    September 24, 2018 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    As we have pointed out many times before, Big Blue is not just a creator and manufacturer of technology, but as one of the largest renters and lessors of equipment with vast access to capital and a relatively strong balance sheet, it is also effectively a large bank focused on IT. And more times than not, it takes IBM Global Financing – and the economic might that parent IBM brings to bear – to close the deal, as much as any hardware or software technology does.

    At the moment, IBM is focused on increasing sales of the midrange “Zeppelin” and …

  • Disaster Recovery Can Cover Your ASPs

    September 24, 2018 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Disaster recovery planning can be fun, depending on your mindset. As Hurricane Florence was heading for the Carolinas, we watched the storm with great interest before landfall and worried for a little while there the simulations of the ensuing tropical storm showed that it was going to hook a little to the west and – I kid you not – go right over Guild Companies headquarters here in Boone, North Carolina.
