Building on Your AIX Investment

Book excerpt: If you are involved with any business or institution that currently uses IBM eServer pSeries, RS/6000 servers, or other brands of UNIX servers, then this book is for you. It starts by describing the state of e-business today and IBM's sweeping "on demand" initiative. It will help you look inward at your own enterprise to evaluate your current state of e-business adoption. You will see where IBM is headed in terms of the future of e-business and learn how to take full advantage of their "on demand" strategy in your organization. You will learn how to leverage your existing investment in AIX or UNIX computing infrastructure moving forward. You likely will see yourself somewhere in the "Top Ten Things That Tell You It's Time for a Change." Finally, you will read about the actual experiences of Toyota Australia as they moved down the e-business adoption path. To help you stay current, this book comes with your personal password for accessing the companion Web site which offers up-to-the-minute pSeries news, expanded information, and additional pSeries resources.
