It’s the holiday season, and we at CCR2 are dreaming of … a green data center. In this issue, read IBM Chairman
& CEO Sam Palmisano’s remarks about a smarter planet at the Council of Foreign Relations;
meet distinguished engineer Jim Fletcher, architect of Tivoli's green data center; and take a remote tour of the latest energy-saving IT technologies.
And, no data center is complete without Tivoli® OMEGAMON®,
so we bring you Dear Rocky's tuning tips, news of an all-in-one maintenance dependencies page, and hands-on labs at SHARE.
Finally, don’t miss our Swiss Re customer story and other features highlighting another smart solution, IBM WebSphere®.
And so much more.
We’ll be back in January for another year of System z news; see you then!
Michael O’Neill, Managing Editor
