28. © 2009 IBM Corporation IBM Power Systems 28 Statement of Direction  IBM plans to deliver a new release of IBM i in 2010. Some of the new capabilities planned for this new release include: –The integrated DB2 database for IBM i will be enhanced with support for XML, enabling clients to store and search XML documents. IBM also plans for DB2 for i to support transparent encryption of a specific column in a database table enabling clients to further protect sensitive information. –PowerHA for IBM i is planned to support asynchronous replication providing clients a disk clustering based disaster recovery solution. In addition, PowerHA for i will support LUN-level switching, providing another high availability option for clients with selected IBM System Storage solutions. –IBM i storage management will further leverage Solid State Disk technology by automatically moving data that is accessed most frequently to SSDs, designed to help clients improve application performance. –IBM Power Systems and IBM Rational will provide enhancements to RPG enabling RPG programs to easily work a variety of client applications including web services, mobile devices, and XML. –Additional management tasks for IBM i will be available in web-based Systems Director Navigator for i that IBM plans to include with the IBM i operating system. Additional monitors for IBM i will be added to Systems Director providing an alternative to Management Central for clients with multiple IBM i environments. –IBM i integration with BladeCenter and System x via iSCSI technology will be enhanced with support for software target support. This solution is planned to support a faster connection between IBM i and x86-based systems while potentially lowering the cost of the solution. –IBM i support for PDF documents will be enhanced to support the transformation of existing spool files to PDF files.  Looking for beta participants now: contact Diane Miller/Rochester/IBM or millerdr@us.ibm.com The information on the new product is intended to outline our general product direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
