Get Ready for
Power7 – It’s important to understand the requirements of IBM i on
the latest, industry leading, Power7 systems. This presentation

systems. For 9 years he was a technical marketing specialist at
IBM. He is now the Director of Sales and Consulting Services at
Advanced Systems Designs, where he has worked for the past 13 years.
His technical expertise and skill on IBM midrange systems are
familiar to most of us, but you may not know that he also holds an

the University of Illinois. Greg has been hands-on with IBM i for
many years and has intimate knowledge of the issues we will be
facing as we look to the next generation of IBM i.
