Continued innovation. An open standards leader.
Tying your business fortunes to proprietary technologies that may be outmoded next quarter is a barrier to business flexibility. IBM eServer System z has long embraced Linux and open standard technologies such as XML and Java and continues to expand support for them in its products. For example, System z adheres to Java standards and provides solutions such as zAAP to provide added value. System z solutions incorporate workload management technology that can enable your open source applications to share computing resources and to allocate them dynamically as needed. And with advanced virtualization capabilities, System z servers running Linux can empower you to accomplish more with fewer resources.
Did you know?
IBM is committed to remaining an open source leader and is investing heavily in open source applications and open standards. For example, when Marist College opened a lab this summer, in association with the Open Source Development Lab (OSDL), IBM provided a z990 as a resource to the Linux development community, helping students improve Linux and mainframe skills and job competitiveness through projects that encourage innovation.
