Virtualization tips total-cost scales for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Virtualization may offer a significant advantage to Linux in
| the decade-old debate over Linux vs. Windows total cost of
| ownership (TCO). A new Gabriel Consulting Group survey (PDF) of
| mostly mixed-environment (that is, Windows and Linux)
| enterprises reveals significantly higher adoption of
| virtualization technology, with all the cost savings that go
| with it: less money spent on hardware and licensing fees.

Linux and Virtualization Will March Forward Together
,----[ Quote ]
| It's also worth noting that if you don't think of IBM as a
| company focused on Linux, think again. Sutor specifically
| mentions mainframes in his quote, which IBM has never given up
| on in the age of the PC, and the company's Linux and
| virtualization strategies are very tied to that high-margin
| portion of its business. IBM is also one of the biggest
| contributors to the Linux kernel, as seen in the chart in this
| post.

Neon makes IBM z-series glow
,----[ Quote ]
| For IBM, the mainframe has gone through a bit of a renaissance, as such systems
| have become more cost effective, required less management resource, have
| standardised at the hardware and software levels and have also opened up to be
| able to run Linux as well as IBM's own z/OS (nee MVS). But the biggest change in
| mainframe direction has been the launch by IBM of "specialty engines" - separate
| processor units that allow specific workloads to be offloaded from the mainframe
| central processors, and run on lower-cost specialty processors run within the
| mainframe.
