Global CIO: IBM And Microsoft Clash Over Unbundling Policy
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM has lashed out at Microsoft and other
| competitors for funding a research study
| whose findings strongly advocate that IBM
| not be allowed in India to bundle its own
| operating systems and other software with
| the high-end servers IBM sells in that
| rapidly growing market.
|
| The flare-up is important because the call
| for unbundling could open the door for
| various companies to rush into the
| mainframe and high-end server businesses
| and be granted mandatory and wide-open
| access to new technologies that IBM alone
| has conceived, funded, developed, and
| deployed.

IBM Says Rivals Behind Anti-IBM Report in India
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM has slammed a report critical of the
| adoption of its mainframes in India, saying
| the report was driven by IBM competitors
| and has no credibility.
|
| The report was sponsored by
| OpenMainframe.org, an online forum for news
| and information related to creating an open
| market for IBM-compatible mainframe
| technologies.
|
| OpenMainframe.org is "bought and paid for"
| by Microsoft and other IBM competitors, so
| it's hardly surprising that it would make
| an anti-IBM argument, IBM said in a
| statement over the weekend.

Linux controls IBM mainframes
,----[ Quote ]
| Consolidation for everyone is IBM's stated
| reason for releasing a Linux version of its
| System z mainframe. The new Enterprise Linux
| Server (ELS) is a stand-alone system
| specifically designed for Linux environments.
| According to IBM, the financial savings can be
| up to 80 per cent. Furthermore, a "save-as-you-
| grow" pricing model is intended to facilitate
| investment decisions by allowing customers to
| gradually purchase resources at considerably
| lower prices than that of a complete system.
