EXPERT ADVICE
Consolidating several clients on a single iSeries
Carol Woodbury, security advice
Dear Carol,
We have an administration system that is outsourced with a vendor.
Currently, it is hosted on its own iSeries, which is connected to our network. We have 5250, FTP and ODBC access. Our vendor is looking to consolidate several clients on a single machine. He has indicated that he will achieve this by putting each client into a separate subsystem. From an application and network perspective, would this approach provide adequate security and privacy? If not, what would you recommend?

THE MISSING LINK
Did you hear the scoop about gossip?
![]()
Remember when "Wall Street" baddie Gordon Gekko said "greed is good"? Greedy Gordon had it all wrong. Gossip is good. That's the word from the school of nursing at London's City University. Researchers there say they've found that a healthy exchange of scuttlebutt is good for nurses and for other people in stressful jobs. How can a little dish be helpful? It helps people vent and nurtures creativity. Researchers also found that
women are more likely to admit that they've been chattin' it up, whereas men tend to refer to their gabby habits as "de-briefing" or "networking."
