as a viable e-business platform. IBM is convinced that LINUX is
suitable for infrastructure tasks and also applications environments.
LINUX may have come through the back door from techies, but IT managers

enterprise-class applications now available for LINUX in IBM Solutions
Directory, IBM and its partner are winning LINUX contracts, including
one for Integrated Genomics, a DNA analysis firm using Domino on
LINUX. LINUX customers are benefiting from its reliability, flexibility,
and cost on medium-sized Web servers, new applications, and server
consolidation. And IBM has not stopped there. IBM is focusing on
LINUX scalability through high-end symmetrical multiprocessing.
