And why? Because the enterprise data center is the classic example of economies of scale: a central source of services for individuals and businesses, providing cost-effective service by sharing high quality space, equipment and talent. Many of the products in demand from enterprises are available for Linux on zSeries: Web servers (Apache, WebSphere, DB2), file/print services (Samba), mail services (Bynari, Sendmail) and many more applications. For a successful enterprise, this means many, many servers, each needing to be installed, configured and maintained individually.

Linux on zSeries, providing the Virtual Linux Server environment, adds another level of economy for an enterprise. IBM zSeries can run ten to hundreds of Virtual Linux Servers—all sharing the same floorspace, the same network connections and the same software. No more farms of servers, miles of cables and armies of technicians. And, need an additional Linux server? It can be ready in minutes.
