High Availability for the real world

The iSeries is one of the most stable computing platforms on the market today, with an average uptime of  99.94%...in theory!  In the real world however, your iSeries is a Web server with users accessing your site from all over the world ~99.94% is no longer enough!  Your usual 2 hour nightly backup is also not going to survive the real world of increasing uptime requirements for your end users.  This session will cover High Availability.

(HA) in the real world.  How do I justify to management the need to protect a box that never dies?  How much will HA cost?  How much will downtime cost?  What options should I consider if I want to implement HA?  Can I roll my own?  What about LPAR, SAN, Clustering?  All of these questions and more will be answered.  Attend this session and learn what HA means in the real world! 

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

  1. Cost justify an HA solution.
  2. Determine what options are right for their shop.
  3. Know what is involved in implementing HA.

The "regular" meeting (after-dinner topics)
HTML for DDS Programmers

HTML training books are thicker than a New York City phone book; yet, iSeries programmers need only a tenth of the information in those books to put a Web front-end on their legacy applications.

In this session, learn the basics of HTML syntax (with special emphasis on HTML forms), explore HTML input forms and discover how iSeries programs are associated with them, and uncover the process flow of HTML input and how it relates to an RPG or Java server-side application.
