Today, many organizations are leveraging Linux and the virtualization technology of System z to lower their IT infrastructure costs and streamline their business operations.
Linux offers customers a choice for new workloads through open computing, avoiding lock-in to proprietary hardware or software vendors or architecture. Virtualization on System z offers customers a choice for massive consolidation, and the combination of both can help transform the IT infrastructure into a dynamic infrastructure.
Part of the move to Linux and virtualization is that companies are realizing the value of automating and integrating their software development environments.
New IBM White Paper:
The z/VM virtualization technology offers key functions that help software developers:
| |
Provisioning of virtual Linux servers in minutes |
| |
Totally isolated Linux servers |
| |
Sharing of data, development tools and related application code |
| |
24 x7 availability of the development environment |
More information about z/VM can be found at z/VM hypervisor.

Bottom line, the virtual Linux server environment on IBM System z offers capabilities that can help reduce the size and the complexity of a dynamic IT infrastructure, including the activities for application development.
