“IBM Monday reaffirmed its commitment to Linux, particularly in
the area of clustered servers, here at the third annual SP World
2000 conference.”
“Although Big Blue has no intention of abandoning AIX, its Unix
platform, David Gelardi, the director of benchmarking and solution
initiatives for the RS/600 brand server group, said that “all Linux
decisions [from IBM] appear to be based on a when, not an if,
scenario.”
“Because of the vigor of the Linux community, Gelardi said
IBM is aggressively contributing to the development of the
open-source code.“
