IBM News – IBM to support Windows servers on mainframes

Filed under: System Programming — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 6:34 pm

IBM says it will support servers running Microsoft Windows on one of its mainframe platforms by the end of this year.

In a post last week titled “zEnterprise support for Microsoft Windows,” IBM said, “In the fourth quarter of 2011, IBM intends to offer select IBM System x blades running Microsoft Windows in the IBM Ibm thinkpad r60 battery zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension Model 002.”

HISTORY: Microsoft Windows after 25 years

zEnterprise is a mainframe product line introduced last year, while System x is IBM’s line of x86 servers for Windows and Linux. With the BladeCenter extension, System x servers are integrated with the mainframe and managed from the same console.

Analyst Wayne Kernochan of Infostructure Associates expressed excitement about IBM’s upcoming move in a new article titled “IBM’s 2011 System z: Windows Support Is Big News.”

It’s not quite full integration between Windows and the mainframe but it’s an important step, he writes.

Windows Compaq nc6000 battery and the mainframe, he notes, have been the two most difficult server platforms to combine, partly due to technical difficulties and partly because IBM and Microsoft seem to think “users just don’t care that much.”

“Full support of application-level administration and load balancing for Windows platforms is not yet in the IBM roadmap,” Kernochan writes.

“And as for full integration of Windows platforms with the mainframe in a private cloud, that’s at the very least not yet in the roadmap, and perhaps a goal that may never be reached.”

Still, he adds, “This does not mean that IBM’s planned support for Windows on zEnterprise is incomplete. On the contrary, IBM has applied its usual combination of strong technology and services to allow users to implement IBM System x blades running Windows that integrate seamlessly into the overall zEnterprise solution.”

Kernochan also discusses the value of integrating Windows, Linux and IBM’s z/OS mainframe operating system.

“If we can imitate enough of Windows on Linux or on Linux-supporting blades, we can move most Windows apps to scale-up servers when needed (Unix/Linux and/or mainframe),” he writes.

Third-party vendors will make tools to treat Windows virtual machines “as just another system for purposes of backup/recovery, monitoring, load balancing, and distributed-application creation,” Kernochan writes. Those tools won’t be ready in 2011, but “even with these limitations, IBM’s dell d630 battery promised Windows support will be immediately valuable to many organizations,” he writes.

The IBM announcement said System x blades running Linux will be available for zEnterprise beginning in the third quarter of 2011. IBM initially did not plan to add Windows support, but changed course based on customer feedback.

“The reaction to delivering IBM System x capabilities has been very positive, with our clients also asking that we support Microsoft Windows,” IBM says.

MCSE-MCSA Networking Support Career Online Training

Does an MCSE appeal to you? If the answer’s ‘yes’, there’s a good chance that you’re in one of two situations: You are a knowledgeable person and you need to formalise your skill set with an MCSE certification. Or you could be completely new to the computer world, and your research tells you there’s lots of demand for certified networking professionals.

When looking into training companies, make sure you stay away from those who reduce their out-goings by not providing the current Microsoft version. This will only hamper the trainee because they’ll have been studying the wrong MCSE version which doesn’t fall in with the present exams, so it could be impossible for them to pass. Look out for computer training companies who are just trying to sell you something. You should know that buying training to get an MCSE is the same in a way as buying a car. They’re very diverse; some will be fantastic, whilst some will be completely unreliable. A valid provider will spend time understanding your needs to be sure the course will work for you. If a company has a creditable product, you will be able to look at examples of training materials before buying anything.

A study programme really needs to work up to a commercially valid certification as an end-result – and not some unimportant ‘in-house’ diploma – fit only for filing away and forgetting. The top IT companies such as Microsoft, Adobe, CompTIA or Cisco each have widely renowned skills programmes. These big-hitters will make sure you’re employable.

We need to make this very clear: It’s essential to obtain proper 24×7 round-the-clock professional support from mentors and instructors. You’ll severely regret it if you don’t follow this rule rigidly. Be wary of any training providers that use call-centres ‘out-of-hours’ – where you’ll get called back during normal office hours. This is useless when you’re stuck and need an answer now.

We recommend looking for training schools that have multiple support offices around the globe in several time-zones. Every one of them needs to be seamlessly combined to provide a single interface as well as 24 hours-a-day access, when it suits you, with the minimum of hassle. Never settle for less than this. Online 24×7 support is the only kind that ever makes the grade when it comes to IT learning. Maybe burning the midnight-oil is not your thing; but for the majority of us however, we’re at work during the provided support period. Check out Microsoft MCSE MCSA Online for well-rounded advice.

Huge changes are washing over technology in the near future – and it becomes more and more thrilling each day. We’re in the very early stages of beginning to scrape the surface of how technology will affect our lives in the future. The internet will significantly alter how we see and interact with the rest of the world over the next few years.

An usual IT technician in Great Britain can demonstrate that they receive considerably more than equivalent professionals in much of the rest of the economy. Standard IT salaries are hard to beat nationally. It’s no secret that there is a great nationwide requirement for certified IT specialists. In addition, as the industry constantly develops, it appears there’s going to be for the significant future.

Many students think that the state educational system is the right way even now. So why are commercially accredited qualifications becoming more popular with employers? With fees and living expenses for university students increasing year on year, alongside the industry’s general opinion that vendor-based training most often has much more commercial relevance, there’s been a big surge in Adobe, Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA accredited training routes that create knowledgeable employees at a much reduced cost in terms of money and time. Essentially, only that which is required is learned. It isn’t quite as lean as that might sound, but principally the objective has to be to focus on the exact skills required (with some necessary background) – without overdoing the detail in everything else (as academia often does).

It’s rather like the advert: ‘It does what it says on the label’. The company just needs to know what areas need to be serviced, and then match up the appropriate exam numbers as a requirement. Then they know that anyone who applies can do the necessary work.
