| Source: Vision Solutions
IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - May 5, 2008) - Vision Solutions, the leading high availability
and disaster recovery solutions provider in IBM Power Systems markets
(NYSE : IBM ), today announced a newly created blog providing systems
management tips for IBM i (i5/OS and OS/400) operating environments.
Updated with new tips each week and provided at no cost to readers, the
informative web page is found at http://visionsolutionsinc.blogspot.com.
"We're taking an enormous collective wealth of systems management knowledge
residing among the nearly 200 technicians at Vision Solutions and sharing
it with the System i community," says Paul Wade, director of SMB products
for Vision Solutions and main editor of the blog. "Already available are a
significant number of tips, shortcuts and other unique ideas for better
managing i environments and new ones are collected from our technical staff
each week."
Along with accessing these tips via the blog website, they can be
automatically delivered to a web browser via syndication feeds like RSS
2.0, Atom, iGoogle, MyYahoo, and MSN. On top of this, Google Desktop users
can download a free "gadget" (mini desktop application) that captures and
presents tips via RSS feed within the Google Desktop environment.
Widgets/gadgets for Windows Vista and the Apple Mac will soon be available.
Links to the blog, its syndication feeds as well as the Google Desktop
widget can be found on the blog or at
VisionSolutions.com/Director.
Additional new Web-access resources include the launch of Vision Solutions'
World Pages
-- the online resource library that is a result of Vision's worldwide
growth. The Company's ongoing commitment to provide valuable high
availability and disaster recovery resources, such as white papers and case
studies in multiple languages will help international companies better
understand system availability technologies and options. This is yet
another example of Vision leading the way within IBM's Power Systems'
market.
"For companies of all sizes, Vision's products are becoming the preferred
choice for business resiliency, disaster recovery and high availability,"
says Ed Vesely, senior vice president of marketing at Vision Solutions.
"With this in mind, we are working tirelessly to provide a wealth of
technical information to a growing worldwide audience and our goal is to
make it as accessible as possible via local languages and web
technologies."
With a growing library of white papers such as "The
Essential Guide to Disaster Recovery: How to Ensure IT and Business
Continuity," Vision is adding new regional translated case studies
every week. "International companies prefer success stories from names they
know and trust. When visitors to our site can read about other local
companies who have had success with Vision -- and do so in their native
language -- decision making is easier," says Vesely.
To support their already popular iTERA™ HA, ORION™ HA and MIMIX® HA
solutions, Vision Solutions will continually expand their international HA
and DR resources library. To view white papers, regional case studies and
product information in Chinese, German, Spanish,
French, Italian,
Japanese,
Dutch and
Portuguese, simply visit
