“IBM has announced a broad expansion of its support for Linux by
making all its storage products available for use with Linux, from
low end to high, which the company says will make Linux even more
suitable as a top-to-bottom solution for businesses.”

“Today’s announcement includes:

  • Enterprise Storage Server –code-named Shark–now can be
    connected to IBM eServer z900 or an S/390 mainframe running
    Linux.
  • Linux compatibility for the Modular Storage Server as a
    mid-market disk storage solution.
  • Linux support for the IBM FAStT200 and FAStT500 disk storage
    servers connected to Intel-based servers.
  • Linear Tape Open (LTO) Ultrium drives supporting Linux for tape
    back-up.
  • The entire line of Tivoli storage management software is to be
    Linux-enabled as part of its open storage networking
    strategy.”
