We're a little nervous about the
Phoenix OS/2 Society's general meeting,
scheduled for Tuesday, June 8. Kim
Cheung, Executive Director of Serenity
Systems, will show us WiseManager, a
product that delivers to small and
medium size companies the same benefits
that IBM has been providing to their
enterprise accounts through the
WorkSpace On Demand product.
But we'd like to avoid a repetition of
what happened at the recent Southern
California OS/2 User Group meeting,
when Kim Cheung demonstrated the
WiseManager product. Their newsletter's
report begins, "SCOUG members were seen
falling out of their chairs in
amazement..." and concludes,
"WiseManager is truly a miracle."
That's a little overwhelming.
What kind of product can generate such
a response? How about a product which
allows anyone to build a TCP/IP
intranet, by filling in the blanks?
Ever hear of a product which can deploy
an application across a WAN with one
drag and drop -- over a switched
connection, from a remote site? Or how
about building an OS/2 machine in 30
seconds or less?
According to Cheung, business partners
have said, "If you want to make your
product valuable, make it simple and
complete." At the June general meeting,
you'll watch how simple it is to build
an OS/2 machine on the LAN. Power on
the machine, type in a name and --
poof! -- a complete OS/2 Warp 4 machine
is ready.
With WiseManager, you get more
benefits, more function, and less cost
in an "out of the box" solution that
works. WiseManager provides solutions
for software deployment, application
and user management, problem
resolution, all accomplished using
OS/2's solid and proven technology.
Although WiseManager can coexist with
IBM's Workspace On Demand, WSOD is not
required for WiseManager to operate.
All you need is OS/2 Warp Server Entry,
OS/2 Warp Server Advanced, or OS/2 Warp
Server SMP.
Kim recently completed testing on
Aurora and IBM's new Network Station
hardware. At this meeting, you'll hear
his assessment of how these new
products from IBM can improve your
experience with "Network Computing --
for the rest of us."
When and where
The general meeting will be held on
Tuesday, June 8, at 7:00pm, at the
Mountain Preserve Reception Center,
1431 E Dunlap. The "random access" Q&A
session starts promptly, on the dot, at
6:30pm, give or take a half hour.
Kim is a dynamic presenter who's sure
to reinvigorate your enthusiasm in OS/2
-- so plan to reconvene after the
meeting at Coyote Springs.
