New IBM i Sandbox Lets You "Tinker, Test, and Try" Application Modernization
The IBM i Sandbox is an IBM website that's been live for two months, and similar to a playground, it lets you try out and play with a lot of fun stuff. Saleem Padani, with IBM's Enterprise Modernization Marketing, explains. "The IBM i Sandbox lets you evaluate the IBM Rational Enterprise Modernization Solutions for IBM i through practical hands-on experience. These solutions focus on five key modernization areas: Assets, Architectures, Skills, Processes, and Investment. Each solution is based upon real customer experiences and offers a proven path to get you started with your modernization projects," says Padani. So what does the Sandbox do for you as an IBM customer? "IBM is trying to simplify and speed adoption of our latest Rational tooling for the IBM i platform and get this technology into the hands of practitioners," says Padani. "The IBM i Sandbox makes it easy and fun to quickly try our latest product capabilities without downloading or installing these products on their local machine. Online trials help accelerate customer buying decisions and reduce the investment of time and resources they need to apply during evaluation of key technologies they intend to adopt for their modernization efforts." Read More
