Meridian IT UK

Hybrid Cloud Innovation, modernisation and automation can mean so many different things to different people. Are you currently using Ansible with or without IBM Power and want to get a deeper insight into other common use cases? Come along to this event to understand how automation can be as simple as a password reset or something more complex by combining infrastructure provisioning / software installs and push notifications. Automating with IBM Power is considered different however, it shouldn’t be. Automation should be centralised and involve collaboration to see greater benefits. Then at 4pm we will be walking the 5 min walk to Clays (Virtual Clay Target Shooting) and we have 2 hours of networking, entertainment and drinks & food.

Well, they did it 😊 Wednesday 4th September the Meridian IT Team standing at the top of Ingleborough mountain - the 3rd of the 3 peaks in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge that they took on to raise money on behalf of Dementia UK. Around 12 hours of walking over the 25 mile route and over 5,000ft of ascent. Thank you to everyone that sponsored the Team - Christopher Carter (Head of Managed Services), Ray O'Hara (Senior Consultant), John G.

We are thrilled to introduce a series of four training sessions focused on IBM Spectrum Control and IBM Storage Insights - all absolutely free. IBM Spectrum Control and IBM Storage Insights are applications that run alongside your IBM Storage arrays and give significant additional management and security capabilities. In our experience we have found that many organisations already have licensing for these products, but are either not using them at all, or not aware of the full capabilities of them. This training series will be delivered by Raj Davatwal, who has distilled down a full multi-day course on this topic to the key areas that he believes will be of most use for organisations. We hope that this will give people the opportunity to begin utilising these tools and getting the most out of their storage investments. These 4 sessions are all taking place in October and each one will last an hour. Registrations at: https://lnkd.in/e8je5-yJ #ibm #ibmstorage #ibmspectrumcontrol #ibmstorageinsights
