Waiting for Whistler! (IT News).ImagoQA, is launching its new migration testing and risk management service to help companies make transition from Office 97, Windows 95/98 and NT to Office 2000, Windows 2000 and Whistler when it arrives. "Everyone agrees that migration is, ultimately, inevitable," says Keith Trotter, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of ImagoQA. 'Yet the vast majority of corporate Windows users have not even set a date for the transition -- despite the fact that W2K See Windows 2000. W2K - Windows 2000 itself has already proved to be more stable and have less bugs than any of its predecessors." Based on its work for a dozen early W2K adopters - most of them banks and financial institutions - ImagoQA believes it has unearthed Unearthed is the name of a Triple J project to find and "dig up" (hence the name) hidden talent in regional Australia. Unearthed has had three incarnations - they first visited each region of Australia where Triple J had a transmitter - 41 regions in all. all the principal migration problems. Most of these occur when migrating custom applications, key directories, DLL (1) See data link layer.

DLLs are not launched by the user; they are called for by an executable program or by other DLLs. files and external feeds such as Reuters, Bloomberg and Datastream. "We have found that infrastructure server mappings are often different between NT and W2K and when DLLs (Dynamic Link libraries) are unregistered in W2K, many components for custom applications are therefore missing for dependent applications," "W2K is the first serious contender to Unix/Linux in both the LAN server and Web server space. ISS ISS See Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS). Version 5.0 has many superior features, including an Active Directory which simplifies the management of enterprise and e-Business networks. Once the migration problems are overcome, W2K promises to be more cost effective, easier to implement and easier to maintain than either Unix or Linux. When W2K is implemented on Web servers, ImagoQA offers its new performance testing and monitoring services: WebSite WorkOut, for remotely stress testing Determining the durability of a system by pushing it to its limits. Stress testing a network is performed by transmitting excessive numbers of packets or attempting to break in illegally. new or changed Web sites, and WebSite WatchOut, for monitoring a site's performance over time or whenever changes are implemented. www.imagoqa.com. |
