SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Entitlement Offer for IBM zBX
Remember? In July 2010, IBM introduced the "revolution of the data center" called IBM zEnterprise System. With the introduction of this new hybrid system, which is designed to reduce complexity, improve security and bring applications closer to the data they need, for the first time it was and is possible to deploy an integrated hardware platform that brings together System z and distributed technologies.
With the announcement of the availability of the smaller, cost-efficient IBM
zEnterprise 114 (as an alternative to the zEnterprise 196), as well as the IBM
zEnterprise BladeCenter Extensions (zBX) running Linux on x86, IBM has added a
new chapter to the unique success story of the hybrid system. And SUSE brings this
success to the next level, honoring the 12+ years of our customers' loyalty to
the market-leading SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z, with a very
special offer to run SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on IBM zBX.
