“With a live demonstration of large-scale Linux use, IBM and
SAP AG (NYSE ADR: SAP) today announced plans to deliver the
mySAP.com e-business platform on Linux for the IBM eServer zSeries
with shipment to first customers in the second quarter of
2001.“
“Since early 1999, SAP has successfully supported Linux as a
mature, reliable operating system for e-business solutions” says
Karl-Heinz Hess, member of the SAP Extended Executive Board. “With
IBM supporting Linux on the eServer zSeries, customers now benefit
immediately from the availability of mySAP.com on this hardware
platform. The early SAP commitment to Linux proves to be the right
decision.”
“By offering mySAP.com on both Linux and z/OS on the zSeries
platform, IBM and SAP will provide customers with the opportunity
to select the appropriate application server environment with
respect to their needs. The Linux acquisition cost advantages can
be combined with the qualities of service and integration
capabilities of z/OS all on the same hardware platform.”
