“Tivoli Systems is set to make a major commitment to Linux,
which could see the open source operating system become the only
platform in the middle tier of its Enterprise architecture.
“Enterprise consists of three tiers: endpoints, gateways, and
management servers. Tivoli is considering packaging the gateways,
which do the job of collating data from agents at the endpoints, as
Linux-based systems management appliances.
“If the only gateway we supported was Linux, it would be cheap,
said chief technology officer Tim Bishop.”
