The second of the Future Matters 2011 series saw Pershing Limited make a presentation describing their adoption of Business Continuation Accelerator to enhance Pershing’s Business Continuity capability. Impressing most was the speed at which Pershing was able to adopt the solution.

When I was young, I thought scissors came with the tips broken off … I learned later in life that actually they had been broken off by my dad when he used them as screwdrivers … an early lesson in using the right tool for the job. When we started the process of defining the ClearPath NextGen architecture we knew we needed to preserve the partitioning capabilities from earlier systems and at the same time we wanted to exploit all the capabilities in Intel’s latest system designs.. While virtualization is all the rage, we chose not to use a general purpose hypervisor for partitioning … did we choose wisely?

The ClearPath systems launched this week, the Dorado 4100 and the Libra 4100, represent the foundation for the next 50 years of ClearPath computing. What makes them significant is not that they are new, but that they are a contemporary interpretation that is true to the architecture of the systems that preceded them. Compatibility is one of the guiding principles of ClearPath engineering … Do you think the guiding principles of the ClearPath teams are still important?

Recently I spent a couple of days in Wellington New Zealand at the Future Matters Conference there. It was one of those rare opportunities to see old friends and make a few new ones. One of our financial clients in Wellington has been running a MCP based system for more than 40 years … having selected a Burroughs Mainframe system in 1967 to automate their bank. We find ourselves 40 some years later continuing to help this customer deliver efficient business solutions internally and externally to their clients as well. They are the first installation in New Zealand to put our ePortal application modernization solution into production use.

Each Quarter Unisys publishes the names of employees who have been awarded patents by the US Patent and Trademark Office on Unisys’s behalf. These patents form a key piece of our portfolio of intellectual property. Having your name on a patent marks you as a special person … an inventor … one who can see the solution to a problem before others can … sometimes even before others can see there is a problem or opportunity at all.

Few things have staying power across generations … think about Music. LPs, CDs, MP3s and how the way we acquire and listen to music has evolved. I think “mainframe” computing is very similar. It has had staying power for decades, but how we buy and use mainframe class computing has certainly changed as well. ClearPath systems are unique in that they are time machines.
