Advice about programming, operations, communications, and anything else I can think of
This is a recording of a presentation Steve Will, chief architect of the IBM i, made to COMMON Europe yesterday (March 27 2015).
It contains a lot of interesting information about the present and the future of the IBM i operating system.
If you do not want to watch the whole video Steve Will also wrote a blog post about this on his blog that covers the same points, although not in the same detail. You can read it here.

ReplyDeleteI'll delineate a few key points for those who may not listen to the whole presentation.
ReplyDeletePower-based technologies are seriously challenging Intel throughout the world, especially in China, and hyper-scale computer centers such as the likes of Google. Power 8 handles more data, more processing, more reliably than x86, now and in the future.
IBM i makes a "great deal of money and profit for the IBM corporation". IBM i is a key part of Power systems strategy.
IBM i has a future in cloud computing and support for mobile clients.
IBM i is built for business.
Technology will change. IBM i will change with it.
