Midrange Performance Group (MPG) today announces the general availability of Navigator MAX.
Navigator MAX is functionally a license for both Performance Navigator (for IBM i) and Power Navigator, our VIOS/AIX/Linux product.
Navigator MAX is designed for Performance Navigator customers as an upgrade to the existing licenses.
We’re bundling in the VIOS/AIX/Linux functionality of Power Navigator at a tremendous 45% discount off the separate PowerNav license price. A single key code gives access to the powerful Navigator Family of products on all IBM i/VIOS/AIX/Linux partitions.
The Navigator MAX license includes not only the ability to use Performance and Power Navigator on all
IBM i/VIOS/AIX/Linux partitions, but also the EXPO (Executive Performance Overview) reporting suite for high level reporting requirements.
MPG is taking this action based on client requests, driven by two trends in the Power Systems installed base:
1) The growing presence of external disk on IBM i configurations virtualized with VIOS.
2) Power Servers deploying both IBM i and AIX/Linux on a common hardware frame.
In both cases, customers will require the functionality of both Performance and Power Navigator to manage their infrastructure properly.
Business users want new applications now. Market and regulatory pressures require faster application updates and delivery into production. Your IBM i developers may be approaching retirement, and you see no sure way to fill their positions with experienced developers. In addition, you may be caught between maintaining your existing applications and the uncertainty of moving to something new.
IT managers hoping to find new IBM i talent are discovering that the pool of experienced RPG programmers and operators or administrators with intimate knowledge of the operating system and the applications that run on it is small. This begs the question: How will you manage the platform that supports such a big part of your business? This guide offers strategies and software suggestions to help you plan IT staffing and resources and smooth the transition after your AS/400 talent retires. Read on to learn:
