“For Big Blue, Linux is the Big Glue, a ubiquitous operating
system that will tie all of IBM’s servers together.”
“That is why Big Blue has made Linux education a top priority at
this year’s IBM PartnerWorld 2001, a conference attended this week
by about 4,000 IBM business partners in Atlanta, Ga.”
“We have all been waiting for a technology like Linux,” said
Brian Sanders, Program Director xSeries NOS/ServerProven
Marketing.”
“He said everyone has been waiting for an OS not controlled by
any one vendor, that has the support of a community of developers
and users and that is ubiquitous across the industry. IBM?s
business partners are just getting into Linux and want to learn
more about it, he said. So IBM is extending its educational and
certification programs to include Linux.”
