“Amdahl Corporation today announced global, mission-critical,
enterprise support for Linux, a UNIX-based open source operating
system.”
“Experienced in OS/390, UNIX, and Windows NT platforms, Amdahl
is particularly qualified to support the enterprise IT
infrastructure. Now the Amdahl Enterprise Help Desk (EHD) adds
Linux support to Amdahl’s roster of expertise. The EHD is staffed
by Linux-certified engineers who provide quick and effective
technical response to problem events for all major distributions of
Linux on Intel and SPARC platforms….”
“Linux support is part of Amdahl’s strategic focus to help
customers build a better internet infrastructure for their business
future. Amdahl has developed a database of Linux information so
that EHD can rapidly identify solutions if an incident should
occur. Contracts are customized to reflect the complexity and scope
of the customer environment and requirements. Customers can
identify and pay for only the support needed, and each support
contract can be negotiated as an aggregate contract. Overall,
Amdahl EHD Linux support offers the potential to lower total cost
of ownership because it minimizes loss from systems failure, which
results in loss of revenue and decline in customer
confidence.“
