| MCS Welcomes Barsa Customers! |
|
A Letter from Phil Maehr: I would personally like to welcome the Barsa customers to the MCS team. My goal is to continue and hopefully improve the service level you came to expect at Barsa Systems Distribution, Inc. MCS has some big shoes to fill, but we are up for the challenge. The Barsa name has always meant quality, commitment to customers, and expert IBM Power System skills. The merger of these two organizations only deepens these skills and ultimately improves our service level to you, our customer. We look forward to working with you on your current and future technology needs. I welcome the opportunity to assist you in your business requirements. Please feel free to contact me at any time during this transition with any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to a long lasting business relationship. Warm Regards, Philip Maehr President 631-738-0500 ext 107 Phil@maximumcomputer.com |
A Letter from Ross Mauri - IBM General Manager of Power Systems |

October 20, 2009:
A year and a half has passed since we brought together System i® and System p® in a unified POWER6™ processor-based platform: IBM Power Systems™. Since then, we have successfully transitioned our IBM i business, so that today 100% of our IBM i sales are on the new POWER6 platform. Our IBM i clients not only run on the industry's fastest processors, but can also look forward with confidence as we prepare to deliver POWER7™ processor-based systems in 2010.
Today we announced significant enhancements to our current IBM i 6.1 release. In addition, we previewed our next major IBM i release planned for delivery in the first half of 2010. As always, this new release contains new features and capabilities that are based on customer requirements articulated in collaboration with our advisory councils, representing COMMON, COMMON Europe, ISVs and the Large User Group. Highlights of this new IBM i release include:
Enhanced DB2® with native support for XML, enabling clients to store and search XML documents, and encryption of a column in a database table to further protect sensitive information.
- PowerHA™ support for asynchronous replication, providing a disk clustering-based disaster recovery solution.
- Further exploitation of solid state disk (SSD) technology to automatically move the most frequently accessed data to SSDs for higher application performance.
- IBM Rational® product enhancements to RPG-enable programs simply to work with a broad range of client applications, including web services, mobile devices and XML.
- Additional IBM Systems Director Navigator web-based management tasks, such as performance and system monitors.
- Integration of IBM i with IBM BladeCenter® and IBM System x® via iSCSI technology to support faster, software-based connections between IBM i and x86-based systems at lower cost.
- Support for transformation of saved spool files to PDF files.
With our clearly defined roadmaps for POWER processors and the IBM i operating environment, IBM's commitment to our i clients is solid and unchanged. We are making substantial investments in the future of i as an important, strategic element in the IBM product portfolio.
Thank you for your business and your confidence in the future of one of the world's most durable and productive platforms for business.
Ross

| Watch Out for Children on Halloween |
|
 As children take to the streets on Halloween to trick-or-treat, their risk of being injured by motorists increases greatly. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that Halloween is consistently one of the top three days for pedestrian injuries and fatalities, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that children are four times more likely to be struck by a motor vehicle on Halloween than any other day of the year. Because excited trick-or-treaters often forget about safety, motorists and parents must be even more alert. For tips on helping keep young ones safe on Halloween please click here Halloween Safety Tips - provided by AAA. | |
