Readers of the Linux Journal have selected IBM as the winner of the "Best Linux Server Vendor" category in the 2011 Readers' Choice Awards. Every year, the Linux Journal invites its readership to cast their vote for their favorite Linux vendor. This year, more than 20 server vendors were nominated for the "Best Linux Server Vendor" award, including Dell, HP and Sun Microsystems.
The awards are announced in the December issue of the Linux Journal. IBM's win in this category is a testament to the company's long-standing commitment to Linux. Eleven years ago, IBM announced a $1 billion dollar investment in Linux, taking the technology from a successful science project to a major force in business IT.
Today, that tradition continues. IBM is consistently among the top commercial contributors of Linux code as measured regularly by The Linux Foundation's "Who writes Linux" series. Linux continues to be a fundamental component of IBM business-embedded deeply in hardware, software, services and internal deployment.
