Go Forward! with Mission Critical Consolidation

Unisys has been releasing some information around beta test participants using their Forward! platform with SUSE Linux Enterprise for SAP.

Wrapping up the Universe

I'm a little tardy in regards to providing a wrap up from our recent attendance at the Universe conference in Chicago, you can blame a certain mouse in the Orlando area for the delay. In regards to the conference, I'd first like to say a big Thank You! to Unisys for inviting us to participate! […]

OpenStack in the Enterprise

I must say that I respectfully disagree with VMware's CEO, Pat Gelsinger on whether OpenStack will catch on in the enterprise. While he believes it won't get traction in the near future, I believe quite the contrary and I'll try to outline a few of the reasons. First and foremost, OpenStack is moving rapidly to […]
