“IBM today announced major Linux initiatives aimed at speeding
the ability of Asia Pacific customers and key software vendors to
increase productivity within the Linux operating environment.”
“IBM will invest more than $200 million in the Asia Pacific
region within the next four years on seven Linux Development
Centers, Linux Competency Centers, alliances with Linux-focused
business partners, Linux research and development and other
programs, along with rapid deployment of more than 300 specialized
Linux consultants, hardware and software specialists, researchers,
