IBM, in conjunction with SuSE and TurboLinux, is expanding its
Linux offerings to its iSeries line, bringing Linux to its one to
24-way servers.
"After seeing how well-received Linux partitioning was
in its flagship eServer z900 mainframe, IBM (NASDAQ:IBM)
is expanding the functionality beyond its enterprise-level
customers to its midsize customer base.
Starting next month, Linux partitioning modules will be
available for all iSeries servers, from 1-way to 24-way
servers.
IBM partnered with SuSE Linux and Turbo Linux to develop the
offering. Now in public beta, the applications are expected to be
generally available in August."
