IBM Enhances LinuxONE for Hybrid Cloud EnvironmentsARMONK, N.Y., Jan. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced new technology features and collaborations for its LinuxONE family of high-performance Linux systems. The enhancements will enable organizations of all sizes to develop, deploy and manage applications for the cloud simply and efficiently with robust security. IBM LinuxONE gives clients the choice they desire with the consistency they need in the cloud with new enhancements:
"IBM is strengthening its expansion into the open community, providing developers more choice and flexibility with LinuxONE," said Ross Mauri, general manager, IBM z Systems and LinuxONE. "The platform's broadened ecosystem and new hybrid cloud capabilities underscore the security, efficiency and performance that clients need, while delivering the flexibility and possibilities of open source they love." Clients using the platform benefit from its powerful right-time insights capabilities. The UK Met Office,a leader in climate and weather services for the public, business and government, uses LinuxONE to process transactions and run analytics to derive insights more quickly than before to deliver critical information in real-time. "It is essential for us to deliver services based on accurate data that paints a full picture, and do so as quickly as possible," said Graham Mallin, Executive Head of Technology, Met Office. "LinuxONE has enabled our organization to provide our services to clients based on weather and climate data faster, and today's announcement will enable us to go even further with this life-saving work." Following an intent announced last year, Canonical is offering its Ubuntu Linux distribution and cloud tool sets (Juju, MAAS, Landscape) to LinuxONE clients. With the addition of Ubuntu to the existing SUSE and Red Hat distributions, organizations now have a third option for acquiring the LinuxONE system. LinuxONE, introduced in August 2015, is enabled for a broad range of popular open source and ISV tools including Apache Spark, Node.js, MongoDB, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Chef and Docker. The new LinuxONE systems availability is currently scheduled for March.
