IBM i 7.6 (V7R6)
In April, IBM announced IBM i 7.6, the first new version of the operating system in three years. While version 7.6 brings a range of enhancements, arguably the biggest new feature is the addition of multi-factor authentication directly into the operating system, making it easy to adopt MFA and providing a “massive security improvement” at no additional cost to IBM i shops.
Ansible Testimonial
Ansible is a total game-changer. Managing lots of servers used to mean endless sessions and scripts — now it’s just one playbook. It is possible to roll out updates, manage configurations, and ensure compliance across environments with ease. It’s made workflows faster, more reliable, and honestly, way less stressful. Ansible lets focus on solving real problems instead of putting out fires.
Migrate While Active ?
Available since December, IBM i Migrate While Active provides the ability to safely and easily orchestrate the migration of an IBM i logical partition (LPAR) to another location. This location can be within the same server, within the same data center or to a remote location such as an IBM Power Virtual Server in the IBM Cloud.
