HEAR ALL ABOUT i7 and AIX7 at TEC 2010

The April Meeting of Members @ TEC

Power Systems in 2010 and Beyond
(Tuesday April 27, 5:30 pm)

Register for the MoM at www.tug.ca/reg_meet.html.

Whether you are registered for TEC 2010 or not, come on over to Seneca Tuesday evening April 27, and take in this special presentation by Ian Jarman, manager of IBM Power Systems Software. You might even win a fabulous door prize! Everyone is welcome to attend, including TUG members & non-members, TEC attendees & non-attendees, speakers, sponsors, students, etc.
(Free admission & free parking — ask for parking voucher at the MoM registration desk.)

On our conference grids we had to keep things under wraps, to protect IBM unannounced products. So the sessions had subtle titles like “IBM i6.1 and beyond”... but now that the announcement has come, a good reason for you to attend TEC 2010 will be to HEAR ABOUT IBM i 7.1 and AIX 7

Companies rely on an efficient IT infrastructure to support their business-critical applications. IBM i offers a highly scalable and virus resistant architecture with a proven reputation for exceptional business resiliency. Running applications based on i has helped companies over many years to focus on innovation and delivering new value to their business, not just on managing their data center operations. The new IBM i 7.1 release sets a standard for total integration of business applications.
