Jump Start Next Generation Applications with IBM Linuxone Leverage Open Technology Solutions to Meet the Demands of the New Application Economy IBM Systems Jump start next generation applications with IBM LinuxONE Leverage open technology solutions to meet the demands of the new application economy Introduction Meet the demand for a new application economy Mobile applications are truly becoming the primary face of many compa- nies. If an organization’s mobile app is unreliable, or the user has a bad experience, it will have a direct impact on the overall perception of that company in the customer’s mind. For example, in 2015, there are more than 7 billion mobile cellular subscriptions worldwide.1 Leading companies are seizing the opportunity to build, integrate and support the next generation of applications. They’re using mobile, cloud and big data analytics in new, more effective ways to drive better business outcomes and competitive differentiation. To support these strategic efforts, companies need a flexible and cost-efficient IT architecture to gain the highest levels of reliability, security and performance. Although many organizations have already made large investments in IT systems to meet this demand, they can not afford to continually add new servers and software licenses to keep pace with growth. Right now, C-level IT leaders, infrastructure and operations executives, enterprise and solution architects, developers, and more are exploring better ways to strike the right balance between controlling cost, complexity and risk while ensuring they have the agility to proactively deliver innovative applications and services that drive competitive advantage and market- place leadership.

  • Eric Redmond, Jim R. Wilson — «Seven Databases in Seven Weeks
    What Readers Are Saying About Seven Databases in Seven Weeks The flow is perfect. On Friday, you’ll be up and running with a new database. On Saturday, you’ll see what it’s like under daily use. By Sunday, you’ll have learned a few tricks that might even surprise the experts! And next week, you’ll vault to another database and have fun all over again. ➤ Ian Dees Coauthor, Using JRuby Provides a great overview of several key databases that will multiply your data modeling options and skills. Read if you want database envy seven times in a row. ➤ Sean Copenhaver Lead Code Commodore, backgroundchecks.com This is by far the best substantive overview of modern databases. Unlike the host of tutorials, blog posts, and documentation I have read, this book taught me why I would want to use each type of database and the ways in which I can use them in a way that made me easily understand and retain the information. It was a pleasure to read. ➤ Loren Sands-Ramshaw Software Engineer, U.S. Department of Defense This is one of the best CouchDB introductions I have seen. ➤ Jan Lehnardt Apache CouchDB Developer and Author Seven Databases in Seven Weeks is an excellent introduction to all aspects of modern database design and implementation. Even spending a day in each chapter will broaden understanding at all skill levels, from novice to expert— there’s something there for everyone. ➤ Jerry Sievert Director of Engineering, Daily Insight Group In an ideal world, the book cover would have been big enough to call this book “Everything you never thought you wanted to know about databases that you can’t possibly live without.” To be fair, Seven Databases in Seven Weeks will probably sell better.
