| Presentation: | Mobile IBMi |
Mobile access is the new frontier. With much, if not most, internet access coming from mobile devices, we need to address the needs of that part of the IBM population. From the ITJungle article:
A big part of the IBM i reputation is its easy access to its file system, to printers and printer output, the operating system security, and DB2 database. The interfaces and the terminology make sense to anyone familiar with the platform. The IBM i Access software family includes products that access client solutions, Windows, Linux, and Web. And now it includes mobile, as part of the Access for Web products, or it will when it becomes generally available at the end of the month.
Session Information
Managing your IBM i systems and providing user access from any mobile devices, cell phones and tablets, are becoming a business requirement. To address these needs, IBM announced the Technology Preview of the IBM i Mobile Access Solution. This session introduces the solution and explains how to obtain and deploy it.
