For decades, the mainframe has been viewed as one of the most secure computing platforms on Earth. With tightly controlled access, centralized data management, and unmatched reliability, it earned its reputation as the “fortress” of enterprise IT. But, as evidenced in...
At the September Virtual Db2 User Group, we hosted Colin Knight, longtime mainframer and Db2 Systems Programming Tech Lead at NatWest. With over 40 years in the field—36 of them working with Db2—Colin cut through the hype to focus on what matters most: security when...
By now, I'm sure you are well aware of the digital transformation that has been going on for some time. As IBM Z continues to be a cornerstone of our customer's hybrid cloud solutions, the need for resiliency, avoiding operational issues and service...
The massive benefits that machine learning can provide are well documented by this point, yet many organizations are still failing to take advantage of the predictive technology while others are failing to derive the value that vendors have promised.1 This is...
Mainframe logs offer essential insight into how to manage and adapt your z/OS environment. So why aren’t mainframe managers leveraging logs in their day-to-day IT management? Performance data is usually split among several applications and consists of highly...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are the latest exciting technologies and buzz in the business and tech worlds, taking over from the past buzz like GDPR, analytics, IoT and Big Data. These topics have already (arguably) become mainstream...
Data volume and higher transaction velocities associated with modern applications are driving change in organizations across all industries. This has occurred for many reasons. Customer and end-user expectations for interacting with computerized systems have...
It has been going on for decades on the mainframe The future is about doing it better in multi-platform environments And - in real time Given the meteoric rise in the use of smartphones, the increasing inter-connectivity between what were previously non-connected...
Big Data is not an overly sized star trek character or endless storage, but is rather the new currency for IT organizations, that can be analyzed, queried and manipulated to provide a meaningful outcome to almost any analytical question. And that currency has been...
Machine learning (the subfield of computer science that, according to Arthur Samuel, “gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed”) is one of the most innovative and interesting fields of modern science around today. Something that you...
