The technology company Pandora FMS<\/strong>, specialized in system monitoring, takes a step further towards growth becoming the first national technology capable of offering monitoring solutions, both for IBM i systems (formerly known as AS400<\/strong>) and for much more modern systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A development that, after several decades, means the full coexistence of IBM i with more recent systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pandora FMS<\/strong>, through the solution developed by the French company M81<\/strong>, will provide this service to multiple important customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*M8 developed monitoring software for IBM i. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the agreement, Pandora FMS will be the first and only one in Spain to be able to combine solutions for both up-to-date systems and IBM i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The agreement with M81 is a key alliance<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The French company has been working in the sector since 1988, becoming one of the benchmarks both nationally and internationally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being specialized in IBM i, they provide solutions such as database recovery after serious failures or advanced monitoring to improve IT team operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBM i, also known as AS400, is a system considered as legacy<\/em> or obsolete that has 34 years of history<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its versions have been updated and improved throughout all this time. The evidence is that many multinationals keep it still in their structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The so-called IBM Power System<\/em> and the IBM i operating system continue to be recognized, but IT managers and CEOs are choosing to work with open servers and operating systems that offer many possibilities available in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, they stopped working with IBM Power System and IBM i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to this legacy system status, companies that use IBM i recognize the need to develop their own verifications or buy solutions that improve their IT structure performance and optimize their costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until now, they could only hire specialized monitoring systems as far as IBM is concerned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, after the development of Pandora FMS and M84, Spanish companies will be able to implement a single powerful monitoring system<\/strong> that combines the management of both newer systems and IBM i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On a global scale<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a sign of the potential IBM i has, there are institutions such as the Government of Andorra that have this type of technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it is usually the financial and logistics sectors the ones that are managed the most through the old AS400, now known as IBM i. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logistics giants such as Cargo Partner, banks such as DZ Bank or insurance companies such as Marsh & McLennan are some of the examples of large formations related to the world of IBM i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Monitoring and growth<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Monitoring, it should be remembered, is one of the bases of the efficient growth of any company today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to internal data from Pandora FMS, there are digital administrations that have improved their response time by 200%<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the retail sector, the workload can be reduced by up to 30% thanks to resource optimization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Percentages that translate into cost savings for large multinationals and, above all, IT resource optimization for other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“From now on, Spanish companies that used IBM i will no longer have to acquire different monitoring services to be able to manage their entire infrastructure.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the M81 software and its integration with Pandora FMS solution, a legacy system like IBM i will be easy to monitor like any other system,”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

explains Sancho Lerena, CEO of Pandora FMS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This also shows that the IT sector continues to grow in Spain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite having waited for a long time, this development is a turning point for companies that still have systems, such as IBM i, which, despite being legacy, continue to have a lot of influence on IT management for the business of many companies,” <\/em>highlights the chairman of the Spanish company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
