IBM Platform Helps Ensure Utilities’ Efficiency
As technology continues to grow at a fast pace, more product features and enhancements are becoming available to utilities within their financial, customer billing and service orders systems.
To be able to take advantage of these benefits, your computer platform has to be ready and available for changes. This is why ASI has offered software development and services through the IBM iSeries platform for more than 25 years.
“Throughout the years, this platform has proven its performance with ASI applications,” says Rusty Pryor, ASI President. “The platform handles a lot of information very well, has been reliable, and allows for dynamic flexibility within infrastructures.”
IBM iSeries platform offers a highly scalable and virus-resistant architecture. It integrates a combination of relational database, security, Web services, networking and storage management capabilities that allow utilities to efficiently run their systems, ultimately lowering monthly operational costs.
Benefits of IBM’s platform for utility processes include:
- Standards-based DB2 database
- HTTP server powered by Apache
- Integrated Web application server
- Java and J2EE Web services environment
- Multiple file systems (Windows, UNIX, NFS)
- Support for MySQL database
- Virus resistance object architecture
- Intrusion detection, prevention and audit journal
- Encryption of data on disk and backups
- Secure networking with SSL and VPN
