IBM announced the zEnterprise mainframe server and a new systems design that allows workloads on mainframe, POWER7 and System x servers to share resources and be managed as a single, virtualized system. "The new mainframe is the fastest enterprise server in the world and represents a giant leap forward in performance," says Tom Rosamilia, general manager for IBM Power and z Systems. "This new dimension in enterprise computing - extending mainframe governance to POWER7 and System x blades integrated into the zEnterprise System architecture - was developed over the past three years with direct involvement from a team of IBM's 30 top customers, which provided direct input at every stage of the development process."

Jean Staten Healy, head of cross-IBM Linux strategy, recently joined Josh Dorfman, director of alliance marketing at Novell, and host Matthew T. Grant for a new cloudchasers show focused on open source and the cloud. The cloud segment of the IT market will continue to grow rapidly over the next several years, a trend fueled by business pressures resulting from the current economic situation as well as increased pressure to accelerate the speed of innovation and provide higher levels of service at lower cost. "Our clients are really seeing there is value they can get from the cloud," stated Healy. Recent IBM client surveys confirm these concerns, she said, pointing out that more than three quarters of the clients who have been surveyed list cost pressures as the top factor in their interest in cloud solutions. This was followed by the desire to improve time to value, and also to improve reliability and availability.
