With large numbers of its mainframe customers already running Linux, IBM today announced the next logical step in the evolution of the big business machines in the form a pair of Linux mainframes that only run the open source OS and the formation of an Open Mainframe Project under the auspices of the Linux Foundation.
Of course, Linux mainframes are nothing new. IBM has been deploying the combination for the past 15 years together with its zOS platform, and about half of its mainframe customers already run at least one instance of Linux on a mainframe. In contrast, the new LinuxONE offerings come installed with only a distribution of Linux that will be supported by IBM.
