Presentation details:
IXS/IXA
The iSeries allows you to deploy PC servers without adding the costs of
managing a server farm. Through the Integrated xSeries Server and
Integrated xSeries Adapter for iSeries, you can run Windows 2000 and
Windows NT servers and your iSeries in a single system footprint. These
unique products will help you to consolidate Intel servers and iSeries
systems onto a single server. Windows servers can then be loaded and run
as though on a standalone PC server. This integration of Windows 2000
inside the iSeries helps reduce the cost and complexity of PC servers as
you run Windows Exchange, personal productivity, and other applications
that complement core business solutions on your iSeries server. This is a
great session to bring your Windows network administrators to.
Linux
IBM is committing more and more resources to working with Linux. This
presentation will talk about IBM's iSeries Linux strategy and how we are
working with customers to deliver Linux solutions. We will also talk about
the Linux distributions that are available for the iSeries and how you can
use Linux today in the iSeries environment.
