Highlights

Realize more value from your Linux® IT investment.

Linux adoption continues at a rapid pace, and more and more companies are turning to Linux applications to run their businesses—and more of these applications are becoming integral to their success. Linux has earned the reputation for flexibility and cost effectiveness. Companies are benefiting from the openness of Linux that is supported by a large open source community. Linux has thousands of Independent Software Vendor (ISV) applications. Skills and resources are readily available. It's maintaining technical parity with UNIX®, and provides the reliability, scalability and security needed to run infrastructure to mission-critical workloads.

Whether running on Red Hat or Novell SUSE, more and more companies are gaining competitive advantage and optimizing their IT investment by running Linux applications on IBM Power Systems™. Power™ provides significant cost savings, reduces availability risks, and improves service through its advanced virtualization capabilities. Companies maximize their return on their Linux IT investment by moving workloads onto a single Power system, which saves not only administrative costs but energy costs as well. They reduce risks by running Linux applications on a continuously available platform. And they rely on Power to better service customers and allow for increased responsiveness to their dynamic business needs.
