“The first output management solution to support Linux
on IBM’s new S/390 eServer zSeries is to be launched by Macro 4, a
leading independent developer of information delivery and systems
management solutions. Users of Macro 4’s SAP certified output
management solution, will now have the e-business mainframe
technology benefits of space, energy and cost savings coupled with
the assurance of dependable output across a distributed network.Macro 4’s solution gives users a single point of control for
cross-platform enterprise printing from an IBM eServer zSeries
platform running Linux and assures the delivery of documents from
the point of origin to any output destination – be it print, fax,
e-mail, or the Web. It also allows the management of output from
multiple applications: large SAP implementations require many SAP
application servers and large companies often run as many as 150
instances of SAP at once. Organisations can simplify their IT
systems by moving the SAP application servers to one zSeries box
with each application running on an instance of Linux.”
