Delivering Worry-Free Storage

For small and midsize businesses, the challenge of building an IT storage infrastructure that is both effective and affordable can be daunting. The amount of information these organizations need to store is constantly increasing, while IT budgets are staying the same, or possibly even shrinking. IT managers will most likely find themselves having to do more with less. Learn how IBM's new features for
low-end storage systems can increase efficiency, protect the data storage environment and drive a lower total cost of ownership.

Addressing The Small and Midsized Business Storage Challenge

As small and midsize businesses (SMBs) struggle with the challenge of managing more data with fewer resources and limited budget, the industry has responded with storage solutions that are either too small (low functionality and hard to deploy and manage) or too big (high capacity and performance with a high price tag). SMBs need the same storage services that the enterprise data center has become accustomed to but in a smaller, less expensive and easier to use package. IBM is announcing a new generation of storage systems that is designed specifically for small and midsize businesses: the IBM® Storwize® V3700 system, delivering efficient enterprise-level data services to the SMB market at an affordable price.

Citrix MDX technologies—unleashing the power of mobile apps

How to empower mobile users while retaining control

Mobility is changing rapidly. No longer is it simply about making email available to users that are on the run or just
managing corporateowned devices. Today, the average employee uses three devices a day to get work done and

Move up to Enterprise Developer for zEnterprise

Micro Focus Enterprise Developer for IBM® zEnterprise® is the core technology for zEnterprise application development. The time is right for Mainframe Express (MFEEE) customers to move up to this new development platform and enjoy the benefits of Enterprise Developer. Here's why.

Mainframe application delivery and deployment – a fresh approach

Mainframe environments have historically been the natural choice to run the mission-critical business applications that enterprises rely on. Over time developments in processor technology have meant that Linux®, UNIX® and Windows Servers® have become able to deliver mainframe equivalent performance at a fraction of the cost. They can therefore offer more options to respond to change required by the business, while delivering the appropriate Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS). This paper looks at the options available to mainframe application decision-makers who are looking to map their mainframe IT strategy to their next generation of business needs.

A step change in development efficiency

The development process for mainframe applications is no simple matter - it is far more than just cutting code and testing it. Improving technology is only half the story and failure to support key processes will severely impact developer adoption. This technical white paper explains how Micro Focus can help development teams improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the zEnterprise development processes by customizing the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the specifics of mainframe configuration management integration.
