Morrisons looks to optimise workload automation - CFO World

 "“We selected the UC4 Automation Engine as it offers a solution that can easily be integrated with existing systems such as Oracle Retail and requires minimal maintenance,” said Tony Stephenson, IT operations manager at Morrisons. “We have now extended the automation to Oracle E-Business Suite for our back-end processing, which has helped us to integrate all the Oracle applications together.”"

Reconsider the mainframe • Reg Whitepapers:

"While the number of workloads handled by the mainframe, and specifically the IBM System z, continues to grow, it is still not considered as a realistic proposition by many potential users.

This paper examines their objections in detail, shows where they are justified, and demonstrates that, with objective cost/benefit and risk analysis, many IT departments would do well to reconsider the mainframe."

Apple iCloud: Same old cage, new height • The Register

Apple iCloud: Same old cage, new height • The Register:

"Because being under anyone's thumb is not much fun. Based on the nascent but growing backlash to Apple's in-app purchasing restrictions, revealed by the Financial Times opting for an HTML5 approach rather than run Apple's 30-per-cent of sales gauntlet, it's increasingly looking like Apple's control freakishness will get a slap from its customers.

As we bound forward into the cloud future - and move forward we will - we need to keep in mind the serious downsides to current cloud offerings.

This is why Red Hat's anti-lock-in for the cloud marketing has real substance. It's why so many enterprises are electing to build private clouds with open-source tools like Eucalyptus rather than cede their data sovereignty to a public cloud provider."
