    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE IBM ES/9000, SYSTEM/390 AND zSERIES 1990 IBM makes its most comprehensive product announcement in 25 years by introducing the System/390 family consisting of 18 Enterprise System/9000 processors ranging from midrange computers for office environments to the most powerful computers IBM has ever offered. Featuring enhanced function and capability to manage information systems, the System/390 provides increased processing power, better network management, improved communication among multivendor systems and the Enterprise System/9000 processors. In many cases, customers currently using IBM Enterprise System/3090 systems can easily upgrade their systems to System/390 processors. Other 1990 announcements include: several networking products to make it easier for customers to use their midrange, desktop and System/390 computers to communicate with non-IBM computers. 1991 IBM unveils seven new Enterprise System/9000 processors and operating system software — Advanced Interactive Executive/Enterprise System Architecture (AIX/ESA) — for the System/390 family. AIX/ESA is a further step in IBM’s implementation of open-systems computing across its product line and is based on UNIX and the Open Software Foundation’s OSF/1 standards. The company begins shipping in volume and on schedule two top-of-the-line ES/9000 models that were announced in September 1990. IBM Japan says it will supply Enterprise System/9000 processors and operating system software to Mitsubishi Electric Corp. for remarketing. The agreement marks the first time IBM has sold large processors as an original equipment manufacturer for resale. 1992 IBM introduces two entry-level Enterprise System/9000 processors and ships five new Enterprise System/9000 water-cooled processors — Models 520, 640, 660, 740 and 860 — one-to-four months ahead of schedule.

  • Rising IBM Mainframe Software Costs
    Rising IBM Mainframe Software Costs By Kim A. Eckert, Certified IT Architect Rising IBM mainframe software costs started getting the attention of high level executives some years ago. This was partially due to realizing the software inventories analysis was inefficient and limited. In addition, a third party company was hired to review IBM Strategic Outsourcing (SO) account’s inventory. In other words, IBM was paying "green" dollars to save "blue" dollars! In order for the team to become competitive and provide extra value to our Integrated Technology Delivery (ITD) accounts, I architected an automated system that merged data from several sources and made it easy for the technical support teams to verify the inventory. Once the reports were produced, my team would analyze the data and make recommendations for cost take out opportunities. There were several issues surrounding software licensing and validation: 1. IBM only had tools that would report on what was installed on a customer’s machine then that output would be matched up to what was actually licensed. This approach had benefits as in ensuring they are paying for what they use, but did not do the opposite - ensuring they are actually using what they are paying for. 2. The only place to find where a product was superseded by another was either Announcement letters or the Dawn report web page. The Dawn report lists all monthly license type software and their replacement if available. For example, it would show 5647-A01 OS/390 is replaced by 5694-A01 z/OS. 3. End of Support information was only available through Announcement letters or the Lifecycle Support web page.

  • Audit Report No.: 2007-DP-0004
    Issue Date February 22, 2007 Audit Report Number 2007-DP-0004 TO: Lisa Schlosser, Chief Information Officer, Q Joseph A. Neurauter, Chief Procurement Officer, N Keith A. Nelson, Assistant Secretary, Administration, A FROM: Hanh Do, Director, Information Systems Audit Division, GAA SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2006 Review of Information Systems Controls in Support of the Financial Statements Audit HIGHLIGHTS What We Audited and Why We reviewed general and application controls for selected information systems to assess management controls over HUD’s computing environments as part of the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) audit of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) financial statements for fiscal year 2006 under the Chief Financial Officer’s Act of 1990. What We Found HUD did not ensure that its general and application controls over its financial systems conformed to federal requirements and guidelines. Proper configuration management controls for software and document changes are not always employed, and access controls and support for the IBM mainframe operating system console are inadequate. Physical security controls over computing operations facilities are weak, and personnel security practices continue to pose the risk of unauthorized access to HUD systems. As a result, HUD’s financial systems are at risk of compromise. What We Recommend We recommend that the chief information officer, chief procurement officer, and assistant secretary for the Office of Administration ensure that Office of Management and Budget requirements, Federal Information Security Management Act requirements, National Institute of Standards and Technology guidelines, and HUD’s own internal policies and procedures are implemented. For each recommendation without a management decision, please respond and provide status reports in accordance with HUD Handbook 2000.06, REV-3.
