Linux: IBM's Workload Optimization Growth Engine

In this research report, Clabby Analytics takes a closer look at IBM's Linux market positioning, and at how Linux is a general purpose operating environment that can operate on all three of IBM's server platforms: System x, Power Systems, and System z. This offers IT buyers two distinct benefits: 1) a consistent operating system across all three servers is easier to manage (skills can be leveraged across all three environments); and, 2) applications/workloads can be run across all three platforms (enabling an IT buyer to choose whichever platform can most efficiently execute a particular workload). IBM is the only vendor in the IT industry that offers the breadth and depth of Linux-based hardware and software in the IT industry. A PDF of the report is available.
