System i Addict

In the past I have openly been very negative about Apple’s lack of Enterprise awareness. Apple does not seem to think they need to do anything at a corporate or enterprise level and that selling iPhone and iPods was going to make them a well rounded company. I have begged and pleaded with Apple to recognize that there is an entire market out there that needs addressing and they fail to deal with any of it. The failures of the xServe are apparent. The most reliable UNIX based server with the best set of tools and applications to manage it and they have not made a single significantly large sale into any large company with them. The xServe should be a no brainer for any company with server needs, but it’s not.

Then up pops the iPhone, and handy little device that seems to have won the hearth of the consumers but the IT people and business people can’t leverage the tool since it can’t be managed and you can’t build apps for it. Well that has all changed. On March 6th Apple released a program to do just that. You can now use your iPhone in some of the same ways you could a Blackberry.

One last request Apple, and you all out there know what this is going to be, call IBM and have them port Domino to MacOSX Server and then give Lotus Notes/Domino support via iPhone Enterprise Solutions.
