  • The State Of The IBM i Installed Base, Part 2

    February 17, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    In the first half of our analysis of the IBM i installed base, we looked at the number of machines and the number of logical partitions that respondents of the IBM i Marketplace Survey for the 2020 report gave last fall when they took the poll. We did some math and analysis on this to show that there is a large block of customers with lots of machines and lots of partitions that are just as important to Big Blue as those with big, fat NUMA servers.

    In the second half of this series about the state of the IBM …

  • Happy Holidays From IT Jungle!

    December 23, 2017 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    The years are always long ones, and that is a virtue, not a curse. Having work and purpose, and being part of a community, is not just a good thing, but the thing. It can be easy to forget that sometimes, when we are busy and caught up in our busy-ness.
