long ago my wife had been in the JES group (one of the catchers for ASP and co-author of JESUS ... JES unified system ... all the features in JES2 & JES3 that corresponding customers couldn't live w/o) when she was con'ed into going to POK to be responsible for loosely-coupled architecture. While there she did the peer-coupled shared data architecture ... some past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#shareddata however at the time, there was very little uptake except for IMS hot-standby ... which contributed to her not staying long in the position (another was periodic skirmishes with the communication group trying to force her into using sna/vtam for loosely-coupled operations). later we do IBM's ha/cmp ... a couple recent posts on ha/cmp from today http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013m.html#86 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013m.html#87 as referenced in the above post ... (mainframe) DB2 complained that if I was allowed to continue ... I would be at least five yrs ahead of them. one of the things I coined when out marketing ha/cmp were the terms "disaster survivability" and "geographic survivability" ... to differentiate from simple disaster/recovery. somewhat as a result, i was asked to write a section for the corporation's "continuous availability" strategy document ... however the section got removed when both rochester (as/400) and POK (mainframe) complained that they couldn't meet the specification. some past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#available -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
