LinuxCon enables developers, sys admins, architects and all levels of technical talent to gather together under one roof for education, collaboration and problem-solving to further the Linux platform. This year, LinuxCon will take place August 17-19 at the Sheraton Seattle, in Seattle, WA, and IBM is a Platinum Sponsor of the conference.
And, on Monday, August 17, at 9:10 am, Ross Mauri, General Manager, z Systems, IBM, will deliver a keynote titled, "Rethink Your IT: Why an Open Infrastructure Matters." New computing models and workloads – from cloud to big data and analytics to mobile and social – are transforming IT. Linux, OpenStack, Docker, and other open technology projects are at the center of many of these innovations, offering platform choice and open collaboration. What does being “open” mean in context of the increasing demands on the underlying IT infrastructure? And can your organization be "open by design"? In this presentation, Mauri will discuss how businesses and IT are transforming with open technologies, the opportunities Linux offers to optimize workloads to hardware platforms, and why an open infrastructure matters today more than ever.
