 IBM POWER Announcements

Please join us at the May 15th meeting to hear from IBM about the new POWER announcements.  With the new IBM Power Systems servers with POWER7+® businesses of all sizes can reduce costs and improve efficiency, drive faster insights by enabling new and growth workloads such as data and analytics and deliver an exceptional client experience.

Our speaker, Rick Cowles, is in his 15th year with IBM, all spent in technical support on the AS/400, iSeries, System i, POWER platform.  In his current role as POWER FTSS (Field Technical Sales Specialist) he works with IBM i operating system customers throughout New England specializing in server consolidation and virtualization on POWER.

Message from the Secretary

 What is this?  No message from our illustrious President?  Unfortunately, he is in the hospital .  Not to worry as all is well now, but he will be there for about a week.

The last meeting we held in March all of our Officers except me could not attend the meeting.  The President and his lovely wife were down for the count with the Norovirus, our VP was called away on a family emergency, and our Treasurer was committed to church choir practice in preparation for the Easter service.  Luckily our Past President and Webmaster, Jerry Perreault, was there to help with raffle sales and picture taking.

Rick Marcotte from Maxava presented "How Not to Become a Business Refugee in the Wake of a Disaster."  He discussed some recent disasters (seems to be more of them lately, doesn't it?) and gave us tips on how to minimize data loss and reduce exposure in the event of an unplanned interruption.  Thanks, Rick!  We really appreciate the support Maxava provides User Groups in the form of grants.  NEMUG is the proud recipient of one of these.

This month our IBM Liaison, Rick Cowles, will be enlightening us about the latest IBM Power Announcements.  It is always a pleasure to have Rick present to us and we look forward to hearing about what IBM is offering.

Happy Spring to all!

Faith Lamprey
