“Independent research firm TheInfoPro questioned IT executives
and managers from companies with at least $2 billion in annual
revenue about their use of the Linux operating system on IBM
mainframes.”

“The CA-sponsored survey revealed that many use or are
evaluating Linux integration: 93 percent of respondents projected
that their use of IBM’s Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL)
speciality mainframe processor would increase or remain steady over
the course of the next two years. Forty two percent projected their
use of the IFL would grow between 21 to 40 percent, and 10 percent
projected that it would grow more than 76 percent.”
