Back in an era when computers were the size of a room and only government agencies and large companies could afford to have one, IBM was king of the mainframes. But they had a lineup of several incompatible computers, some intended for scientific uses (the IBM 7090/7094), others were for commercial uses (the IBM 7080 and IBM 7010). IBM wanted to have a single unified architecture so that software could be exchanged between them and customers could upgrade from cheaper, lower powered machines to more higher powered ones.

What came out of it was the IBM System/360 line of mainframes (referring to the concept of "360 degrees" making up a circle) that ended up being the dominant mainframe computer for decades to come, it got cloned by competitors, and its descendants are still being produced to this day.

The IBM System/360 had many features that since then became foundational for modern computing.

An entirely binary number system. While some computers (such as the IBM 7090) used a binary system, others operated exclusively in decimal mode, encoded using binary coded decimals using 4 bits for each digit (such as the IBM 7080 and IBM 7010). Others went a step further and were only capable of storing decimal digits 0 to 9 (like the IBM 7070).

To store textual information, each character was stored in 8 bits, establishing the dominance of 8 bit bytes. Previous systems would typically use 6 bits to store text, and would usually only enable a single case of letters. The IBM 7070 didn't provide access to bits and characters were stored in 2 decimal digits. It was also one of the first machines to support the then new ASCII standard, although notably it provided much better support for IBM's proprietary EBCDIC encodings which came to dominate mainframe computing.

Even though it was a 32-bit system, memory was byte addressed. Previous systems would access memory one word at a time (for the IBM 7090, this was 36 bits per word, for the IBM 7010, this was 10 digits plus a sign), or had variable length words and accessed them through their last digits (IBM 7080 and IBM 7010). The IBM System/360 however accessed 32-bit words as 4 bytes by their lowest address byte.

Two's complement arithmetic. Previous machines (even the binary IBM 7090) would encode numbers as sign/magnitude pairs, so for example -3 would be encoded identically to 3 except for the sign bit. Two's complement encoding, now the standard in modern computers, makes it much easier to handle signed arithmetic, by storing -3 as a large power of 2 minus 3.

I tried drawing reeda because I love her. I have no idea what you had in mind for her design so I just re-read the chapter and went off of what your description was the best that I could. She gives me Painter vibes from pressure

I LOVE THISSSSSSSSSSSSS THANK YOU!!!!!! Ford absolutely has a mini monitor like this in each room so he can see its messages!

Honestly REEDA's main design in my head fits Ford's lab, so it's a very retro cassette-futuristic style like you've illustrated. Think: how did people imagine the future was going to look in 197-something. All Commodores and IBM and thick plastic etc.

Ford's lab in mtb is designed with that exact aesthetic in mind, so terminals and things like this were at the forefront of my mind:

These types of terminals are primarily in the mainframe room that Reader goes through to access the lab. It's all set up with things like the above. Whereas REEDA's central screens in the main body of the lab look more like the ones in The Forbin Project:

Except they're a mix of both of those aesthetics, so they're weirdly long CRT monitors suspended in a similar layout to the above!

Here's another ss from Forbin bc it works along similar lines! And also it's a great movie and you should watch it!

Hi where you around in the seventies to actually expertise these Computers first hand

Yeah so I was a tween/teen in the 70s and was definitely around. I was fascinated with computers thanks to Star Trek and Lost in Space etc, but computers were very hard to come by then, no one owned one and they were limited access.

I did get time on our PDP-8 in high school, and sometime around 79 or so built my own system from a kit and was like the only kid on the block with a computer actually in his house.

Only other time I remember using a computer (mainframe, not counting video arcade games here) was at the university of Connecticut, thanks to a neighbor who was a professor there.

He took me in to show me their IBM mainframe and told me the computer could answer any yes or no question. So I asked it is it Wednesday, our neighbor typed it on the terminal, and it immediately printed "yes" in glowing green phosphor. I was freaked out, asked if it was Tuesday, and it said "no". I asked all sorts of questions, about how many people were in the room, math, geography etc.

Yes, no, yes.. it kept getting them all right!

After becoming convinced the computer was sentient, our neighbor showed me the program he had wrote. It let you type in text, and if you started the sentence with a space, it answered "yes", if not, "no". Observers did not notice the space. Genius.

Wrote this same program many times over the years to amaze people. Less amazing now with AI on our doorstep, so sorry y'all can't go impress your friends with this one anymore.

Pseudo-historical project about 1912 unit record equipment computation aka the "Symbolic Analyst Processor" full stack!

(above pictures emulate the looks of what this tech stack documentation and actual use may look like, still very early in the process though)

It is still coming together by my head as I write infodump notes and research various aspects of the whole time, (including the WIMP & MERN/MEAN stack) but yk, things are coming together nicely to give some milestone project mid-way between my current phase in life and the next where I go develop a fully alternative INTJ lively stack of tools. Explanations, history dives, lively reaction studies and a couple more content suggestions related to it are on the way.

Behold, the infodumps

"Top-bottom and back up workflow" 1910 / 1912 Unit Record Equipment Tabulator Computation "Bundle" Project (Pflaumen & Utalics' SymbolicAnalystProcessor)

Back to the point

The list is far from exhaustive or finished, as life is so much more than meets the eye. But this should be a good start to remind myself what I am working towards, a full revamp of the last ~120 years of history with much attention and care put into making it as satisfying to me as possible, despite the very probable scenario where people take the ideas and incorporate only some of such "modules" in their own workflows. Which is fine but not taking the whole package (and only specific modules) is eventually gonna be a major learning experience for me considering the reason I revamp it all beyond control freak stuff is literally to provide less exclusive / less invasive tools that anyone can learn and customize despite being very... idiosyncratic yk.

Still welcoming suggestions and constructive criticism for such big time, I hope those textual infodumps I do every so often don't bother you too much... Cya soon!

Like OS/390, z/OS combines a number of formerly separate, related products, some of which are still optional. z/OS has the attributes of modern operating systems but also retains much of the older functionality originated in the 1960s and still in regular use—z/OS is designed for backward compatibility.

Major characteristics

z/OS supports[NB 2] stable mainframe facilities such as CICS, COBOL, IMS, PL/I, IBM Db2, RACF, SNA, IBM MQ, record-oriented data access methods, REXX, CLIST, SMP/E, JCL, TSO/E, and ISPF, among others.

z/OS also ships with a 64-bit Java runtime, C/C++ compiler based on the LLVM open-source Clang infrastructure,[3] and UNIX (Single UNIX Specification) APIs and applications through UNIX System Services – The Open Group certifies z/OS as a compliant UNIX operating system – with UNIX/Linux-style hierarchical HFS[NB 3][NB 4] and zFS file systems. These compatibilities make z/OS capable of running a range of commercial and open source software.[4] z/OS can communicate directly via TCP/IP, including IPv6,[5] and includes standard HTTP servers (one from Lotus, the other Apache-derived) along with other common services such as SSH, FTP, NFS, and CIFS/SMB. z/OS is designed for high quality of service (QoS), even within a single operating system instance, and has built-in Parallel Sysplex clustering capability.

Actually, that is wayyy too exciting for a bedtime story! I remember using the internet on a unix terminal long before the world wide web. They were very excited by email, but it didn't impress me much. Browers changed the world.

iPaaS & Hybrid Future: Easy Integration Allows Innovation

Innovation necessitates an iPaaS approach and a hybrid future.

The next paradigm shift from digital transformation to AI transformation depends on effectively using integration, APIs, events, and data. There are numerous automation and integration methods, but all lead to Integration platform as a service(iPaaS).

In the meanwhile, integrating the required data, applications, and systems is a shifting target. Since apps constantly being updated to the cloud and replaced, the only thing that is constant is change. Furthermore, IDC projects that by 2028, there will be 1 billion new logical applications, partly due to AI. The significant investment in the iPaaS sector is supported by these factors.

This are combining cutting-edge technology from the IBM and webMethods integration portfolios at a time when the market is so innovative and full of opportunities. It goal is to assist company executives in using integration as a competitive advantage via the investments and innovations.

Using experience to create a cohesive hybrid future

It has to be hybrid in order to manage cloud and on-premises installations with ease. Additionally, it has to be unified, combining various integration models with common governance, control, and portability. By combining to knowledge of hybrid and multicloud integration, it is enabling the customers to increase productivity for all individuals and teams involved in integration across their companies. When implemented properly, iPaaS controls complexity to enable businesses to prosper.

With hybrid control at its heart, it use a single control plane to integrate various integration patterns (such files, events, messaging, B2B, apps, APIs, and more) into a shared experience. Your whole integration landscape can be controlled via a single pane of glass, spanning all regions, hybrid multicloud hosting infrastructures, user personas, and teams, with to central management with distributed execution. The most complete platform to manage every use case you can think of is provided by a unified iPaaS.

Using AI-powered solutions to propel iPaaS innovation

Additionally, It have the benefit of being able to provide AI-driven integration solutions that are unrivaled in the iPaaS field because to IBM’s dominant market position in responsible AI, powered by Watsonx. Generative AI may contribute to the whole integration lifecycle, enhancing existing product AI capabilities and promoting productivity and agility in writing, monitoring, and governance for quick innovation. AI assistants are a fantastic place to start, and its’re now using AI agent-led hybrid iPaaS to map a route.

With the realization of this idea, hybrid iPaaS could:

Eliminate integration islands by integrating applications, data, APIs, B2B, files, and event streams into a single platform.

Use a hybrid strategy that connects mainframes and multicloud systems to streamline integration across the company.

Use centralized control and distributed execution runtimes to help guarantee security and data sovereignty.

Throughout the integration lifecycle, generative AI may accelerate typical integration processes, enabling a variety of users to create solutions for their businesses and boosting productivity and agility.

Use events and APIs in conjunction with a modular business architecture to update apps.

By offering a worldwide library that permits reuse and self-service access to current connectors, you may speed up development, save expenses, and enhance data accessibility.

How does iPaaS integration work?

Organizational leaders evaluate integration requirements and objectives prior to selecting and deploying an iPaaS solution. Apps, data storage, microservices, event streams, and other connectors may be made using it platforms. There is seldom an out-of-the-box iPaaS solution that will work for everyone since various iPaaS services are designed to handle different integration requirements and enterprises have varied IT infrastructures.

Teams may choose an iPaaS provider that fits the requirements of the company and start the setup process after identifying integration use cases. Here is an example of how an iPaaS data integration may operate, however initial iPaaS setup procedures will differ depending on it the service a team employs and the kinds of connections they want to make.

Initially, the user must utilize the iPaaS platform’s connectors and templates to link the systems that need integration. For example, a store may decide to integrate a cloud storage service, a customer relationship management (CRM) system, and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

The user may create integration flows, which specify the order of activities (such as taking data from one system, changing it, and moving it to another system), once the systems are linked. The conversion, aggregation, and enrichment procedures that will control the transformation and mapping of data across systems are also specified by users at this point.

The data interchange is then orchestrated by the iPaaS platform, guaranteeing safe, end-to-end data delivery to apps that consume the data or to data lakes and warehouses for further analysis. It will handle authentication, manage API calls, and ensure safe data sharing if the integrations rely on application programming interfaces (APIs).

Teams may monitor dashboards, get alerts, and examine data logs after the linkages are operational to make sure they are operating at their best and that any problems are identified and fixed quickly. Furthermore, a lot of iPaaS solutions are made to expand with the company; as data quantities increase or new systems are introduced, the platform may be set up to roll out more resources.

Companies may also decide to have their own IT teams develop unique integrations. Depending on company requirements, some degree of customization may be required; nevertheless, where feasible, it is often simpler and more economical to rely on third-party iPaaS solutions.

Story of SaaS?

"SaaS" is a term that’s hard to ignore but what exactly does it mean? Imagine instead of dealing with the hassle of downloading and installing software on every device, you can access what you need instantly through the internet. That’s SaaS, or Software as a Service, a cloud-based solution that makes software more accessible, flexible, and user-friendly. Want to understand why SaaS is reshaping the way we use technology so let’s dive in!

Definition of SaaS

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software distribution model in which applications are hosted by a service provider or vendor and made available to customers over the internet. This model contrasts with traditional software, where the software is purchased and installed on local machines or servers.

The concept of SaaS dates back to the 1960s when IBM and other companies offered mainframe computers on a time-sharing basis. However, the modern SaaS model we are familiar with started to gain traction in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the advent of the internet and advancements in cloud computing technology. Companies like Salesforce were pioneers in this space, demonstrating the potential of delivering software via the web. Proket is also a good example of Saas based CRM software where realtors get the feature of landing page builder for their PPC ad campaigns within seconds. 

SaaS vs. Traditional Software

Traditional software models often require substantial upfront costs, installation on local machines, and ongoing maintenance. SaaS, on the other hand, is subscription-based, does not require installation, and is maintained by the service provider. This shift from ownership to service has made SaaS a popular choice among businesses of all sizes.

Key Characteristics of SaaS

Accessibility and Flexibility

One of the standout features of SaaS is its accessibility. Users can access the software from any device, at any time, as long as they have an internet connection. This flexibility allows teams to collaborate more effectively, regardless of location.

Cost-Effectiveness

SaaS typically operates on a subscription-based pricing model, which can significantly reduce the upfront costs associated with purchasing traditional software. This model also allows businesses to scale their usage based on their needs, paying only for what they use.

Automatic Updates and Maintenance

With SaaS based CRM updates and maintenance are handled by the service provider. This means users always have access to the latest features and security updates without having to manage these tasks themselves. It’s a hassle-free experience that ensures your software is always up-to-date.

Scalability and Integration

SaaS solutions are designed to scale easily with your business. Whether you need to add more users or integrate with other software solutions, SaaS platforms can adapt to your growing needs. This scalability is crucial for businesses that are expanding or experiencing fluctuating demand.

How SaaS Works

The Cloud Computing Foundation

SaaS is built on the foundation of cloud computing. This means the software is hosted on the cloud, and users access it via the internet. The cloud infrastructure is managed by the SaaS provider, which includes servers, databases, and networking components.

Cloud Infrastructure

The cloud infrastructure supporting SaaS is robust and designed to handle multiple users simultaneously. This infrastructure is typically spread across multiple data centers to ensure high availability and redundancy. The use of cloud technology allows SaaS providers to offer reliable and scalable services to their users.

SaaS Deployment Models

There are different deployment models for SaaS, including public, private, and hybrid clouds. Public SaaS is available over the internet and is accessible to any user with the necessary credentials. Private SaaS is hosted on a private cloud and is often used by organizations with specific security or compliance needs. Hybrid SaaS combines elements of both public and private deployments.

Subscription-Based Pricing Model

One of the defining features of SaaS is its subscription-based pricing model. Instead of purchasing a software license, users pay a recurring fee to access the software.

Benefits of Subscription Model

The subscription model offers several benefits, including predictable costs, flexibility to scale usage, and access to regular updates. It also reduces the financial burden of large upfront software purchases, making it an attractive option for businesses of all sizes.

Common SaaS Pricing Tiers

SaaS providers typically offer several pricing tiers to cater to different user needs. These tiers might include basic, standard, and premium plans, each offering varying levels of features and support. This tiered approach allows users to choose the plan that best fits their requirements and budget.

Advantages of SaaS

Enhanced Collaboration

SaaS tools are designed with collaboration in mind. They allow multiple users to access the same platform, share documents, and work together in real-time. This level of collaboration is particularly beneficial for remote teams and global organizations.

Reduced Time to Deployment

SaaS applications can be up and running in a matter of hours or days, compared to traditional software, which might take weeks or even months to deploy. This rapid deployment means businesses can start using the software almost immediately, without lengthy installation processes.

Global Accessibility

Because SaaS is delivered via the cloud, it’s accessible from anywhere in the world. This global accessibility is a significant advantage for businesses with distributed teams or international operations, allowing them to maintain consistent workflows regardless of geographic location.

Automatic Software Updates

With SaaS, users don’t need to worry about manually updating their software. The service provider takes care of all updates, ensuring that users always have access to the latest features and security patches. This automatic update process helps maintain software efficiency and security.

Popular Examples of SaaS

Final Words

SaaS has transformed the way we interact with software, offering unmatched convenience, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. By eliminating the need for complex installations and ongoing maintenance, SaaS enables businesses and individuals to access cutting-edge technology from anywhere, at any time. Whether it's for collaboration, productivity, or specialized tools like Proket’s CRM, SaaS solutions are designed to meet the evolving demands of the digital age. As more organizations embrace cloud-based services, the impact of SaaS on the global technology landscape will only continue to grow.

Understanding the fundamentals of business automation

Automation has impacted practically every industry throughout the years, including healthcare systems, assembly lines, and ATMs. However, automation is being elevated to a whole new level by machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). The way people and machines interact is changing as a result of this so-called "intelligent automation," which enables organizations to grow their clientele, boost productivity, and succeed in competitive marketplaces.  In actuality, studies demonstrate the enormous financial advantages of automation. According to the IBM Institute for Business Value, AI-enabled automation will produce a labor value of billions of dollars in 2022 alone.  This essay examines how business automation is evolving, why it's important now, and what to think about if you want to use automation in your own company. 

Business automation: What is it?The use of technology to automate monotonous operations and free up employees for higher-value work is known as business automation. This covers robotic process automation (RPA), business process automation (BPA), and automation driven by artificial intelligence.  Automation used to require enormous mainframes and a team of specialists to maintain them. These days, businesses of all sizes may access the capabilities thanks to cloud-based automation tools. 

The following are some examples of business automation types:

 1.      Basic automation: Basic automation is the process of automating basic, elementary tasks. Basic automation technologies digitize repetitive activities with little to no coding, reducing errors and speeding up transactional activity. Two instances of basic automation are RPA and business process management (BPM). 2.     Process automation: Process automation maintains consistency and openness in company processes. Process automation, which is frequently managed by specialized software, can boost output and efficiency while also providing insightful business data. Examples of process automation include workflow automation and process mining.

3.     Advanced automation: This type of automation integrates many systems inside an organization by combining human and machine capabilities. Advanced automation, which facilitates intricate procedures, depends on unstructured data in conjunction with machine learning, natural language processing, and analysis. It encourages decision support for specialized work and knowledge management. 

4.     Intelligent automation: AI-powered intelligent automation enables robots to "learn" and decide for themselves depending on scenarios they have seen and examined. AI-powered virtual assistants, for instance, can lower expenses in customer service while facilitating more intelligent interactions between customers and human workers. An improved level of customer service is the outcome. 

What makes business automation crucial?

Automation is a wonderful approach to accelerate business growth and streamline processes, regardless of the size of your company. Automation tools allow you to shift human labor to other areas of the business by substituting machine labor for human labor.

 Businesses must continuously use best practices and tested automation software across all workflows to fully benefit from automation. This includes streamlining internal procedures and enabling faster-digitized consumer experiences.

Nevertheless, not every solution has every piece of technology required to automate end-to-end processes. This may result in several-point solutions, increased expenses, and a scalability issue. 

Business automation advantages: Business automation is essential in a world that is changing quickly. It can be difficult to foresee which customer behaviors, such as sharply changing demand or increased health and safety concerns, would endure beyond the pandemic.

However, you do have some control over how you handle the experiences you give your clients. You can improve or adjust these experiences with automation, particularly when it's paired with AI. This will increase revenue, make better use of your resources, and boost customer pleasure.  Using an automation platform that assists you in doing the following is one of the greatest ways to accomplish this: 

1.      Identify procedures: Identify areas of your business where there are inefficiencies or hotspots to assist decide where automated procedures can have the biggest impact. Modeling and process mining are involved in this.

2.     Apply intelligence: Make recommendations for actions based on data from automating your processes using AI and machine learning, freeing up personnel for more strategic duties.

3.     Expand your personnel: Create RPA tools and send out digital workers to work alongside people whenever increased productivity may be attained or when support is required.

4.      Automate core operations: To satisfy business demands, apply fundamental automation capabilities—document processing, workflow orchestration, content services, and decision management—to critical operational areas.
