Dear Search400.com member, Here is one example of an iSeries customer that is taking its iSeries to new levels. Apria Healthcare eliminated 175 of its AS/400 servers and now runs one iSeries i890. Not only is management simpler, but worker productivity has increased.

At Apria Healthcare Inc., a home health services provider with 1.2 million patients, the IS department is paring its lot of 175 AS/400 servers down to just one iSeries i890. The move will boost worker productivity and improve the oversight of technology assets at hundreds of the Costa Mesa, Calif.-based company's branch offices. The i890 server will run Apria's time clock and payroll applications, and it will serve as the back end for Notes/Domino and WebSphere applications. Having a centralized i890 server will speed the delivery of new applications, while supporting the company's consistent growth. In addition, it allows the IT department to have better control over backups, and it reduces security risks. >> CLICK HERE to read more: http://www.search400.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid3_gci849775,00.html Unsubscribe from 'Updates on new site content' - Simply Reply to this Email with REMOVE within the Body or Subject > or - Go to: http://search400.techtarget.com/register - Log in to edit your profile. - Click on the link to Edit email subscriptions. - Uncheck the box next to the newsletter you wish to unsubscribe from. - When finished, click "Save Changes to My Profile."
