Scaling Up For Cyber Monday With IBM i

November 26, 2018 Alex Woodie

But there’s nothing stopping the middleware, dubbed iWebSrv, from simplifying data integration for clients in other industries.

Retailers work all year to ensure they’re ready for the massive surge of traffic that springs up after Thanksgiving. For bricks-and-mortar types, Black Friday is their make-or-break day, while those with an omni-channel bent have Cyber Monday prominently circled on their calendars.
