"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."
