IBM: Quixtar Most Innovative Client
IBM Honors Its Most Innovative System i Clients
Winners Deliver Breakthrough Designs in Data Warehousing, High Availability, IT Simplification and Education on the System i Platform
MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/27/2006 -- COMMON -- IBM and COMMON announced the five winners of its annual IT Innovation Awards at the COMMON conference in Minneapolis where thousands of System i users gathered today.
The second annual System i Innovation Awards showcased the achievements of clients who use IBM's "all-in-one," open System i platform to deliver IT innovation. The 2006 award winners were: Elie Tahari, Quixtar, Inc., Transworld Entertainment, Bank of America National Association, Canada Branch and Moraine Valley College.
"System i clients consistently strive to be innovative. It is that spirit at the core of the System i platform -- driving business value and efficiency while delivering outstanding availability and automation," said Mark Shearer, IBM System i general manager. "We are pleased to recognize the outstanding achievements of our clients who have found new and exciting ways to build upon the System i's innovative technology to deliver even greater value to their customers."
. . .
-- Quixtar, Inc., a leading online retailer of health and beauty products, developed a high-availability back-up system that enabled it to achieve high availability for its business applications while meeting customer demand. Quixtar consolidated its environment onto two System i 570s located five miles apart that use Lakeview MIMIX for object and data replication between the systems. Quixtar also relies on IBM WebSphere MQ to relocate inquiries from its Web site so they can be processed by the backup system during peak hours, eliminating downtime. The company received the Innovation Award in the Business Resiliency category.
. . .
"We introduced the System i Innovation Awards one year ago to recognize, showcase and share best practices among the System i community," said Beverly Russell, COMMON board president. "This year we were impressed by the more than 50 nominations we received and the innovation that was executed on the System i platform by all of the nominees and finalists."
The winners and finalists, honored this evening at an awards ceremony hosted by Mark Shearer, IBM System i general manager, and Beverly Russell, COMMON board president, were chosen by a panel of 25 judges that included IT-industry leaders, analysts, and IBM and COMMON executives. Current IBM System i customers could be nominated by an IBM Business Partner, IBM employee or themselves. Winners represent the United States, Canada and New Zealand.
