IBM Announces Linux on a "Mainframe"! |
On May 17th IBM acknowledged the power of Linux, the world's fastest growing operating system, by enabling it
on all product lines, even the largest, recently announced eserver zSeries processors, still best
known as mainframes! This is not an IBM version of Linux, but the true, open source, Linux. IBM calls it
"Linux for zSeries".

Linux for zSeries means cost-effectiveness via server consolidation and revolutionary new operational features
enabled by the zSeries' traditional strengths. Linux's networking efficiency and affinity to the Internet, coupled
with every company's need to economically scale its applications, make this a perfect development and production
platform. One large IBM system can efficiently share its computing, memory, disk, and networking resources
across hundreds of virtual Linux servers, reducing the total cost of ownership to levels well below an equivalent
platform with multiple, smaller, workstations.
