  • The DB2 reference Guide is back!!

    For decades, the CA DB2 Reference Guide (originally started by Platinum Technologies) has been THE source of wisdom for DB2 DBA’s working on the IBM mainframe. The format, the content and the structure somehow was exactly right, 1 source of information replacing many different manuals simply helps people...

  • Failed IT Projects; Lessons Learned

    A while ago, I started a discussion on LinkedIn’s MainframeZone with the title “ Failed IT Projects, anybody willing to share? ” ( http://lnkd.in/Fd2dFx ) about mainframe migration projects that, well…, didn’t go as planned. I had some good feedback and more is welcome but one thing is certain, there...

  • Big Iron Results in Big Energy Savings. Why Mainframes are Sustainable.

    When people think about Green IT, you don’t find a lot of people who immediately say, “Oh yeah, that’s all about mainframes.” Affectionately known as Big Iron, this tried-and-true technology that has been around for years is not always on top-of-mind when a discussion about energy efficiency in the data...

  • iMainframe. By Maddalena Tosoni

    I was recently in NYC hanging out with people who do not have a technical background (the extent of their IT knowledge is how to use the iPad and iPhone!), let alone knowing what a Mainframe is.

  • Oh Linux, where art thou!?!

    When we found ourselves in between 2 crisis last year (which we did not know back then of course), I could not help being very optimistic about the future of Linux on the Mainframe.

  • Mainstreaming the Mainframe

    Well it’s official. The walls are beginning to come down between the mainframe a nd distributed IT teams. The intense pressure on CIOs to reduce costs demand it.
