02/19/2003 — SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to Benefit from POWER4+ based eServers Systems SUSE Linux today announced support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 on Linux ready IBM eServer pSeries systems, lowering the cost for customers deploying the Linux operating system on 64-bit processor technology. The IBM eServer with the latest 64-bit microprocessor, POWER4+ takes advantage of IBM's most advanced 0.13 micron fabrication process and contains over 180 million transistors. The POWER4+ chip is available at 1.2 and 1.45 gigahertz. The POWER family of microprocessors is among the most widely used in the industry and can be found in Nintendo game consoles, Apple computers and some of the world's most powerful supercomputers and storage systems. The IBM eServer p630 and eServer p650 offers pSeries configurations especially dedicated to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. They also support AIX5L, IBM's UNIX® operating system, and a combination of Linux and AIX5L in logical partitions. Through its Linux Technology Center, IBM contributes key operating system features to the Linux community that can help improve flexibility, performance, scalability and reliability and bring Linux further into the enterprise. These open source features for use in Linux exploit eServer pSeries systems management, clustering, Internet services and security. IBM is dedicated to Linux, the world's fastest growing operating system, and AIX, one of the fastest growing enterprise operating system with sophisticated functions including dynamic partitioning. IBM's support for Linux on IBM eServer pSeries systems is complementary to AIX and represents an unprecedented level of choice and integration for customers. Press Contact: |
