For the First Time, IBM Brings Mainframe and Windows Together Technology enabling IBM zEnterprise System users to integrate Microsoft Windows applications into the mainframe environment-an industry first-will become available from IBM on December 16th. With this new capability, end users with multi-tier applications-for example, Windows applications connected to mainframe data-can be integrated and consolidated on the same system. By bringing Windows and the mainframe together, IBM is helping clients to innovate more freely in multiple environments across z/OS, Linux, AIX and now Windows.

New Blog by IBM's Jean Staten Healy: Open Virtualization and KVM - why care? For those of us who have witnessed the emergence of open virtualization technologies such as KVM, the benefits of an open approach to server virtualization can seem obvious. But one of the things that KVM has suffered from is that it has not been well explained in the marketplace. It is actually quite a geeky name if you think about it - and then explaining what KVM stands for - Kernel-based Virtual Machine - doesn't actually help to explain it much more! It would probably have been easier to attract attention if it had a cooler name but in fact it is a really good product and is now very much enterprise-ready. So we now need to get the word out about it - we need to talk about the benefits and we need to talk about why the hardware support for new virtualization hypervisors like KVM has come into the marketplace and talk about what people are doing with it.
