About

From NEWS400 to NEWSWire to PowerWire

The PowerWire story started in 2000 as NEWSWire UK, an email newsletter for British AS/400 users.

Since then, it has undergone a couple of name-changes, iNEWSWire, PowerWire Europe and widened its focus to include all IBM Power System server technologies whether they be IBM i, AIX or Linux flavoured.

It also widened its audience. While the newsletter will always have its roots in the UK’s midrange scene, today’s subscribers to our monthly PowerWire email update are based throughout the world.

Also, if you have a colleague who you think could do with keeping in touch with all things Power i, Power p or Power Linux, why not point them in the way of a free subscription too?

PowerWire is always on the lookout for interesting stories about IBM Power System server technology. Whether you are a system user or a solution vendor, we are always interested to hear about your work.

PowerWire was published by Cue Communications until 2015, when it was published by NC Communications Ltd.

In October 2023, FormaServe Systems joined forces with NC Communications to jointly produce the PowerWire newsletter and web-site.

As of July 2024, FormaServe has assumed sole ownership of the PowerWire brand and project.

It’s official! After a successful year at the helm of PowerWire, we’ve migrated our website to a brand new domain and hosting provider.

You can now find us at our permanent home: PowerWire.uk.
