VOLUME 4 - OS/2 WARP FM '99 - InfoFlash 1
http://www.software.ibm.com/os/warp/warpfm

Some Goodies Included OS/2 Warp Server for e-business
There's lots to anticipate with the availability of OS/2 Warp Server for
e-business. In addition to state-of-the-art features like the Journalled
File System and Logical Volume Manager as well as bundled products such as
WebSphere Application Server, IBM is pleased to offer support for Windows
98 clients as well as Netfinity Manager version 5.2.
Netfinity Manager Version 5.2, the latest release of standards-based
administrative software tools, now allows administrators to access
information and commands via a Web browser. With its new web-enabled cross
platform support, Netfinity Manager can act as a mini Web server -- thereby
being a perfect accompaniment to OS/2 Warp Server for e-business. The
purchase of the upcoming Warp Server release entitles customers to one
license for the Manager and ten client licenses.
With Netfinity Manager capabilities such as asset management and auto
discovery, administrators can see a significant reduction their workload.
Other automated functions include event and maintenance scheduling as well
as the ability to check if managed systems are up to date with the latest
drivers and systems software. And for help managing this increasingly
webbed world, Netfinity can manage network segments running on different
protocols with it multiprotocol management support. For more information on
Netfinity Manager 5.2, see http://www.pcco.ibm.com/us/infobrf/xbnet1.html.
OS/2 Warp Server for e-business Hits the Not-So-Big Screen
For the past few months, a new video clip on OS/2 Warp Server for
e-business has been appearing weekly on the Website. Pat Sueltz, General
Manager of OS/2 and Java, kicked off the series with introductory messages,
followed by Vice President of OS/2 Development, Jeff Smith, and the OS/2
Market Management Lead, Andreas Tuerk. The series then revved into high
gear with vignettes on specific product features as well as demonstrations.
So far the discussions have covered the new installation features, server
capacity improvements, TCP/IP enhancements and storage management. Coming
attractions include logical volume manager interface, journalled file
system, Windows NT Server management and lots more. The videos are
available in both Bamba and Real Video formats at:
http://www.software.ibm.com/os/warp/aurora/videos.
Refreshes Planned for February via Software Choice
The following Netscape products for OS/2 Warp are planned for a refresh on
Software Choice sometime in mid-February:
Netscape Communicator 4.04 for OS/2 Warp
Netscape Communicator 4.04 for OS/2 Warp with Strong Encryption
OS/2 Plug-In Pack V.2.1.
The intent of this refresh is to fix many of the non-severe but annoying
defects that users have encountered. It will also include support for 16
colors to accommodate older hardware and servers.
Towards the end of February, IBM intends to refresh IBM Networks
Coordinated Client 4.2.4 for Windows NT and IBM Networks Primary Logon
Client 4.2.4 for Windows NT via Software Choice. Not only will the refresh
have several APAR (authorized program analysis report) updates, it will
also include new support for DCE (Distributed Computing Environment)
clients.
Revamping of WARP FM
For 1999, WARP FM is undergoing change of emphasis. Rather than focus our
energy on a big issue that comes out monthly or bi-monthly, we will be
publishing InfoFlashes as news and announcements occur. In this way, we
can get you the information you need on a more timely basis. The more
in-depth feature articles that ran in the monthly will appear in our newly
renamed division newsletter, SecureWay Connection. To sign up for the hard
copy version of this newsletter, send an e-mail note to
enetwork@us.ibm.com with your name and mailing address. You can also opt to
receive an electronic notification that the latest issue is available on
the Web.
Back Issues of OS/2 WARP FM are available on-line at http://
www.software.ibm.com/os/warp/warpfm.
