Where is Linux having an Impact ?
Very high Apache (66%) and Linux (31%)** penetration of web serversMany SMBs & small ISPsAction in autonomous departments; bottoms-upCIOs have discovered they already have Linux

What is IBM's Linux Strategy ?
IBM's Linux Focus
Services
Actions
WW Support, Training, Professional and Consulting
Services offerings
Software Key products ported to Linux (DB2, WebSphere,Tivoli, Lotus Domino, VA Java, MQSeries,
etc)
HardwareNetfinity servers, ThinkPad and Intellistation clients (Intel-based)
RS/6000 servers, NUMA-Q and S/390
AlliancesWW Partners with Caldera, Red
Hat, SuSE, & TurboLinux on solution delivery and support
Open Source Significant code contributions and technical resources working with
the open source community6
Open Source & Alliances
Open Source(Community Engaged)
Projects: Networking, File systems (Journalled File System), cluster installation, logical volume manager, glibc/mathlib work, kernel performance, IA-64 port, PPC port, S/390, Linux Standards Base, kernel scalability,print

Four Major Distributions
All 4: Netfinity, Thinkpad, Intellistation supportNetfinity preloads for Caldera, Red Hat,TurboLinux and SuSE Linux for S/390 distribution agreements signed with SuSE and TurboLinuxIGS contracts for Level 3 support - all 4IBM software support contracts in place - all 4Joint marketing agreements in place - all 4
OEM agreements: for WebSphere App Server and VisualAge for Java in all eBuilder products shipped
RedHat.com/marketplace online store opened with IBM h/w and s/w content via ShopIBM links.
Support for RS/6000 including the B50 "pizzazz" in April
OEM Agreement: DB2DB2 w/ TurboLinux DataServer Pro in China
7
$200 million Linux initiative in each of Europe and Asia Pacific markets including creation of Linux development centers
Centers allow customers and key ISV's to transition their applications to Linux
Support application development on all IBM servers
Centers located in: Paris and Montpellier in France; Greenock and Hursley in the UK; Boeblingen in Germany; Warsaw in Poland; Budapest in Hungary; and in AP -- Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei, Seoul, Bangalore.
Efforts will further the adoption of Linux in Europe and AP
Worldwide Linux Commitment

Industry’s first independent, non-profit lab for developers adding enterprise capabilities to Linux
IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, NEC, Caldera, Dell, Linuxcare, LynuxWorks, Red Hat, SGI, SuSE, TurboLinux and VA Linux
Provides Open Source developers with a centralized enterprise development environment for sharing development ideas and innovations
Projects are expected to range from tools development to kernel projects
Initial lab based in Portland, Oregon with 12/00 target open date
Open Source Development Lab Announcement: August 30 2000

Linux represents an important emerging HPC market requirement
"In scientific computing, Linux has proven to be very muscular... government agencies, colleges and companies are using the Beowulf class of clusters running Linux to solve intensive computational needs."
Standish Group, May 2000
Extend leadership in High Performance Computing#1 in Top500 Supercomputer ListWorld's fastest Supercomputer
Linux is an entrenched Internet technology Already #2 reference platform for application development, will be pervasive over timeMore than 3000 HPC applications
Why is IBM doing Linux Clusters?

Why is IBM doing Linux Clusters?
Expected future transition from HPC to commercial market embrace
Provides for a sustainable business model over time
Commercial applications are coming, including existing IBM middleware contributions (MQSeries, DB2, Websphere)

How we are approaching this marketplace...Select customer engagements with key Partners including Universities, Labs, ISVs
collaboration with IBM to address problems like scaling and performance issues early in product life cycle
explore new technology paths and associations. ex., Vista Azul project
Open Source development partnerships
Develop initial set of Cluster offerings on IA-32, with infusions of IBM and non-IBM hardware and software
Over time, appeal to broader set of industry segments and customers via increased ISV and channel capabilities
13
Announced at LinuxWorld (US) on August 15.
Objectives:
Deliver a set of easy-to-order, pre-configured, validated Linux Cluster offerings on Netfinity (IA-32) hardware of various sizes complete with supporting software, OEM components, and optional IBM services for established competitive prices.
Value Proposition:
For initial solution, primary value to customers is integration and validation, including Systems Assurance review
Follow-on solutions will be based upon software technology leadership -- much of which will come from RS/6000 SP portfolio
IBM Solution Series for Linux Clusters
14
IBM Solution Series for Linux Clusters (continued)
Solution Series provides a vehicle for customers to quickly and efficiently order and install a Linux cluster
Helps to accelerate industry movement from early adopter to early and late majority stages
Solution Series will expand to POWER and IA-64 architecture based offerings in the future.
Worldwide Announce and delivery plans underway.
