My very last business trip before the coronavirus appeared (actually after it appeared elsewhere in the world) was NY to Dallas for a tech conference. Most have been lightly attended in recent years due to less tech resources on staff to companies, especially those who are integral to their companies 24/7 demands. It was a good conference. Like going to the gym, you get what you put […]

First up, to run IBM MQ Explorer, you need to know if you have the horsepower, er, installation requirements, to get started. You are looking at 512mb RAM, a 1 GHz processor, and 300 mb disk storage. A big monitor is also a recommended, since the UI is not exactly small screen friendly.

While our global leaders attend their political Summits, perhaps they should include an IT GTP Summit to their agendas. As IBM has pointed out [https://twitter.com/IBMintegration], 94% of global banks and 85% of F100 companies use IBM/MQ to carry their transactions from place to place.

Just a quick blog to those out there who don’t recognize the significance of the picture above. Avada Software had shared this graphic back in 2014 to show the significance of the IBM MQ/IIB middleware stack.

Strangely enough, it’s one of those technologies that just works. It’s not on the CIO’s list of wondrous new projects. The reason is simple and I’ll tell you why this […]

The term APM was coined for application performance monitoring. It defines a criteria for which applications can be monitored for efficiency.

The first set of performance metrics defines performance as experienced by end users of the application. An example would be average response times under peak load.

The second set of performance metrics measures the computational resources used by the application, indicating whether there is adequate capacity to support the load, as […]

It still amazes me to this day how IT organizations, even up to the CIO, seem to enjoy pain.

Unlike the characters on Mad Men, my IT career was in the land where employees did not “mix business with pleasure”. Perhaps that’s the reason for the pain. Most of it is self-inflicted. For me, the entire point of being in technology is “innovation”. It’s to automate […]
