Linux is the fastest-growing server operating system in the world, thanks to its powerful functionality, rock-solid stability and open source foundation. Apps developed on Linux — from Web and e-mail servers to departmental and enterprise vertical applications — are reliable, portable and cost-efficient. And apps developed using the latest IBM middleware for Linux (DB2 Universal Database, WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Studio Application Developer and Lotus Domino) provide the integrated, scalable e-business solutions you need for competitive advantage in an increasingly Web-connected world.
