IBM hosted a full day Technical Briefing Event with sessions on various i5 system updates at the University Park Marriott Hotel. AIX users were
present also. The sessions were very informative in discussions of the new technologies and the continued convergence of AIX and i5 platforms. It sounds like they plan to make this an annual event.
The technical topics* included:
Systems Management for IBM Power Systems
AIX Performance Update
IBM Storage Offerings for AIX
Active Memory Sharing
AIX Live Partition Mobility
Solid State Drives for AIX
Hardware Management Console V7 Update
IBM i (i5/OS®) Maintenance Strategy (PTFs, ECS)
IBM i Storage Update: “Solid State Drives, SAS and more!”
An excellent presentation by Carol Woodbury about compliance with different information security laws. She used lots of examples in setting up security policies and how to adjust the i5 security settings to meet those policies. See the video posted below.
Carol has been an influence in the i5 Security Industry for many years and I’m sure most of you have read of her expertise within our community. She is a technical editor for the IBM Systems Magazine, Power Systems – IBM i edition, a co-founder of SkyView Partners, Inc., a security consulting firm and she was IBM’s chief security architect for the AS/400 for 15 years. This is definitely not one to miss. Encourage your co-workers to attend.
We are fortunate to have her visit the GSLMUG and share her insight on security compliance with us. Below is a summary of her upcoming visit.
