“IBM will add support for Linux-based solutions to its
ServerProven certificationprogram sometime in the second quarter,
the company said Monday at the ResellerXChange conference
here.”
“‘The majority of our ISVs are going toward Linux, so we’re
going there with them,’ said Sandy Carter, director of Netfinity
Partners in Development at IBM Personal Systems Division, in
Raleigh, N.C.”
“Carter said more than half of IBM’s ISV partners indicated they
plan to use Linux for applications that will run on Intel’s 64-bit
architecture. ‘I wasn’t expecting Linux to show up in the I-64
space,’ she said. ‘It was a good surprise.'”
