Sounds a basic question but we have seen several well intentioned AI projects stall as objectives get blurred. Can AI effect operational efficiency and cost reduction or is it a true driver of revenue growth for businesses? To enhance the success of your AI project it should be clear whether you are addressing process automation […]
AI or ML is certainly the hottest topic in the business/IT world at the moment but what is the best way to get started and create something that is of value to the business? Traditionally AI has meant Artificial Intelligence, but a more appropriate definition is Augmented Intelligence – providing the business with the mechanism […]
Towards the back end of last year there was debate in the Unix communities around the future of several Unix operating systems. Unsettling news had been released by Oracle regarding its Solaris team https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/04/oracle_layoffs_solaris_sparc_teams/ and many have long thought HP’s UX roadmap was uninspired at best. Naturally attention turned to IBM’s AIX. A recent article (albeit supported with […]
How many years ago was your DR solution designed and is it still fit for purpose in today’s environment? Can you recover your systems and applications to the desired recovery points and times? We are seeing many situations where DR solutions are no longer fit for purpose having been designed with different objectives in mind. […]
So January starts and many are faced with tighter budgets, from which new projects are supposed to be funded (which often means completing last year’s projects let alone looking at new AI or cognitive analytic initiatives). Compounding this will most likely be a large maintenance bill for your AIX, HPUX or Solaris Unix infrastructure that […]
As a cloud and hosting provider a reliable and robust server infrastructure is key to our clients. ITIC recently published their mid-year update on their Global Reliability Survey (this is not sponsored by any vendor to allow neutrality), ranking the most reliable servers. At L3C our infrastructure is built on IBM Power, Lenovo x86 and IBM System […]
If your ‘legacy’ AIX, Solaris, HPUX or IBM I system is still running a core business process or application then why is it not part of your cloud strategy. We generally hear of new workloads and initiatives being considered for cloud or part of a ‘cloud first’ strategy but I’m not sure how one can […]
As cloud strategies continue to accelerate deploying existing and new applications into public clouds such as AWS, Azure, Google and IBM Softlayer / Bluemix its key to consider core AIX, Solaris, HPUX and even IBM I applications into this strategy. While these so called legacy Unix (and IBM I) applications are not supported by the […]
Having been recently appointed as a formal IBM Power Cloud partner (one of only a small number across Europe) we at L3C often get asked what workloads should be considered when moving to AIX or Unix Cloud. For those wanting to test the water DR is a convenient place to start. Even with High Availability […]
Moving Dev/Test workloads to cloud/hosted environments are often the first step for organisations when considering cloud or off premise hosted deployments. The major Public Clouds started attracting workloads in this way with support being on an ‘as is’ or ‘reasonable efforts’ basis. L3C, a specialist UK AIX/Unix service provider offers flexible and realistic Service Level Agreements […]
