Evolving Solutions will be hosting a number of AIX classes in July. Sign up to attend!
AIX Basic System Administration – Level 1
July 7 & 8, 2010
Cost: $1,000
This class is designed for administrators that are new to AIX and the IBM Hardware, or administrators that have had very brief exposure (migrating from architecture to AIX). Basic functions, such as operating system installation, update (patching), and backups are covered as well as an introduction to the HMC (Hardware Management Console) and LPAR’ed environments. Some troubleshooting basics are also covered (disk replacement, adapter hot-add, etc).
AIX Intermediate System Administration – Level 2
July 12 & 13, 2010
Cost: $1,000
This class is designed for administrators that have AIX experience, but have not virtualized their environment as of yet, as well as administrators that want a review of intermediate level functions. Implementing NIM (Network Install Manager) is a subset of this class. Discussion of Dual VIO is covered, as well as additional ways to make your systems more robust and resilient. Setting up initial performance monitoring is also covered.
AIX Advanced System Administration – Level 3
July 15 & 16, 2010
Cost: $1,000
This course is designed for seasoned AIX administrators. Experience is a must, because it is assumed that the student already knows basic tasks and concepts. This class requires advanced systems (P6, or P7) for the labs. Live partition mobility is covered in this class, as well as NPIV, Zoning Lun Allocations, etc. Available tools for AIX (IBM and Shareware) are covered in this class.

Evolving Solutions is pleased to share a recent solution success story about a rapidly growing construction and agricultural equipment provider that needed a high performing, flexible datacenter that would expand with them.
Evolving Solutions overhauled the existing datacenter and conducted an enterprise-wide IT infrastructure redesign using JD Edwards ERP software. We helped implement and configure the ERP solution, as well as migrating data from legacy systems.
Evolving Solutions designed a storage infrastructure using the IBM XIV storage system, X86 and IBM system p Bladecenter. This solution sets the company up for uninterrupted growth up to 79 terabytes and can be easily updated if more storage is needed later.
The solution also included virtualization and disaster recovery components. We implemented an IBM System p Blade center appliance, which allows the customer to run five diverse workloads inside a single architecture. Their virtualized environment allows them to move running workloads between servers to maximize availability and avoid downtime, as well as dynamically adjusting server capability to meet changing workload demands.
With the company’s location prone to flooding, backing up files and moving the tapes off-site is extremely important. They cannot risk their data being lost. We therefore implemented a Tivoli Storage Manager disaster recovery solution to act as their insurance policy.
Summary of Benefits
Consolidation – Streamlining and integration of disparate systems
Scalability – Room to grow without having to implement a “forklift upgrade”
Enhanced Performance – Virtualization has increased server utilization
Network Connectivity – Fast and remote access to company data
Cost Savings – Savings in systems maintenance costs following AS400 decommissioning
Managed Services – Scheduled healthchecks to monitor system performance
Evolving Solutions is happy to announce the launch of our new, value-added service – the Customer Asset Management Portal (CAMP).
CAMP is designed to to provide IT staff and asset management personnel with a single source database for managing multi-vendor technology assets. Now our customers can access the IT information they need – when they need it.
Our mission is to make it easier for our customers to access and track IT assets under contract. CAMP was created to significantly improve IT efficiencies.
