Faster, cheaper, simpler…

Faster, cheaper, simpler. That’s the name of the game these days. What can I do with my technology to save money and perform better? Thankfully, Mainline works with technology manufacturers, who are always looking for ways to answer that question. And this means several times a year there are “announcements.”

We love announcements from our vendors. It is an exciting time to see what new technology has been developed and what it can do for our customers. This month IBM made several product announcements that will definitely help some of you and may not be too critical for others. That’s one way Mainline can provide additional value; we help you analyze the solution enhancements and determine if it is beneficial.

From the IBM Power perspective (my personal specialty), a lot of the updates were around the integration of OpenStack cloud management, Power IFL, Power VM, and a new capacity on demand tool. I have summarized the Power Systems announcement and recorded it for your convenience.
