  • Skytap To Expand IBM i Cloud Offering

    March 31, 2021 Alex Woodie

    The Power Systems S922 is the go-to server for many cloud providers, including Skytap, which sells access to and manages IBM i, AIX, and Linux environments in Microsoft Azure and IBM Cloud. But as its cloud business grows, Skytap is finding that some of its customers are getting close to hitting their heads on the S922’s processing ceiling, which has precipitated a need for bigger boxes.

    Skytap is currently scoping out the available Power Systems server lineup in anticipation of rolling out a second, larger Power offering, says Skytap Vice President Dan Jones.

  • Adlumin Adds IBM i Support to SIEM

    March 31, 2021 Alex Woodie

    Banks that run their core banking software on IBM i servers will be interested to hear that Adlumin is now ingesting IBM i security log data into its cloud-based security information and event management (SIEM) solution, giving them another way to detect unauthorized activity from hackers and malicious users.

    Adlumin was founded five years ago with the goal of providing a low-cost SIEM and compliance solution to small and midsize banks and credit unions. The Washington, DC-based company started out by collecting log data from Windows and Linux devices, but it soon found out that customers wanted support for core …

    Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems remain central to company operations. The expansive application suites are heavily relied upon to automate the core business processes that businesses rely on. However, they’re notoriously difficult to implement, and they do not always do what they’re supposed to. And according to a recent survey, they’re often lousy when it comes to providing a return on investment.

    March 31, 2021 Jenny Thomas

    April has been called the “month of reawakening,” I would guess because Spring is finally here and the world is coming alive with warmer temperatures and blossoming flowers. April 2021, however, could be the greatest awakening of them all, as vaccines roll out across the world and more and more people attempt to back to a normal (whatever that is now) life. Whether you are easing back in or diving in headfirst, there is lots to look forward to in the months ahead. As we move ahead, be sure to check Monitor for all the latest news and opportunities coming …

    March 31, 2021 Doug Bidwell

    There is a lot of stuff going on this week. First, there are patches for Db2 Web Query, but only for IBM i 7.3 and IBM i 7.4, and we have to wonder if this will eventually be backported to IBM i 7.2 and maybe even IBM i 7.1 given that release has been given extended extended support and is not available on Power9 in limited form in logical partitions.

    • Security Bulletin: IBM Java SDK and IBM Java Runtime for IBM i is affected by CVE-2020-14803 and
