The
severs include LinuxONE Emperor for large enterprises and
Rockhopper for mid-size businesses.
IBM said LinuxONE Emperor can scale up to 8,000 virtual machines
or thousands of containers, which would be the most for any
single Linux system.
The Linux One Emperor system will be based on IBM's z13
mainframe computer, which had been designed for high-volume
mobile transactions.
IBM said the LinuxOne system will work with open software such
as Apache Spark, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Chef.
The company also said it partnered with UK-based Canonical Ltd
to distribute its Ubuntu open source software on LinuxONE and z
systems.
(The story was refiled to correct the name of the server to
"Emperor" from "Empire" in paragraph 4 and names of software to
"MariaDB" and "PostgreSQL" from "Maria" and "Posture" in
paragraph 5)
