IBM is currently running live versions of AdminUX on the eServer z900 mainframe at the e-business Briefing Center in Poughkeepsie, NY. AdminUX is being hailed as a Virtual System Administrator for Linux Guest on the z900. AdminUX automates 80% of the recommended, routine, system administration tasks for secure, reliable, Linux system operation.
Businesses everywhere are rolling out Linux on the mainframe in new implementations or using Linux to add new life and increased efficiency to their existing technology investment. The power and reliability of the mainframe, the cost savings benefits of the Linux operating system and virtual partitioning technology are prompting customers, business partners and academics to explore how Linux on the IBM mainframe solves business problems with unmatched reliability and efficiency.
A significant number of our enterprise customers are currently planning or implementing applications on Linux for zSeries and S/390, said Joann Duguid, director, Linux on IBM eServer zSeries. And as more and more customers embrace Linux on the mainframe, powerful system administration tools like AdminUX from Green Light Advantage become increasingly essential for business operations.
