IRVINE, Calif., May 10, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Vision Solutions, the industry standard in eServer High Availability, today announced a worldwide joint roadshow with IBM to address the unique needs of what IDC terms the "New Dynamic Enterprise" and the pressing business imperatives that legislate business requirements in the 21st Century.
The roadshow will feature Frank Soltis, the chief architect of the iSeries for IBM, who is fondly considered "the father of the iSeries" and senior Executives from Vision Solutions. The duo will discuss the state of the iSeries and how the two companies are working together to offer complete and "On-demand" availability solutions based on the combined strengths of i5 and Vision's unique multiplatform availability capabilities.
"The very nature of the dynamic IT enterprise involves heterogeneity and flexibility with the highest degree of manageability," said Alan Arnold, President and Chief Operating Officer for Vision Solutions. "Vision responds directly to these requirements with ORION in delivering integration, virtualization and autonomics in a highly scalable on-demand solution. ORION's features and functionality set the standard for high availability within the iSeries market and integrate so well with the iSeries that it further extends the robust value proposition of the iSeries to customers worldwide."
Geared towards "C" level and director level IT executives, the roadshow has already registered more than 700 participants for its stops in Spain, Italy, France, Germany and England. Participants can expect to learn the latest advances and directions on IBM's i5 including their multi-platform and virtualization focus. This will be tied together by Vision's presentation on industry trends, legislative business priorities and how the powerhouse combination of i5 and Vision's ORION offers the most complete and reliable answer to meet the 24/7 availability needs of today's businesses.
