Enterprise IT” vendors are in the midst of an identity crisis, and Linux is to blame.
\nWant proof? Just look at some recent news announcements: Not only is the erstwhile uber-proprietary Sun Microsystems selling Intel- and AMD-based servers, it has also snapped up open source giants like MySQL. That’s quite a shift from a year ago, when Sun seemed almost ashamed of its Linux success.
\nNext, consider IBM, with its Linux-on-mainframe initiative. Big Blue recently took this approach a step further and announced Lx86, a virtualization technique for running — you guessed it — native Linux on its traditional System p Unix boxes.
\nNot to be left out, Hewlett-Packard is also singing the praises of Linux and open source, with its new FOSSology tools for managing open source software and licenses.
\nThese are just a few examples. Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, Web 2.0 companies are busy redefining the very notion of “enterprise IT,” but one thing is clear: Linux is pervasive there as well.<\/p>\n
