The Open Mainframe Project
The Linux Foundation has announced
the launch of the Open
Mainframe Project. "In just the last few years, demand for
mainframe capabilities have drastically increased due to Big Data, mobile
processing, cloud computing and virtualization. Linux excels in all these
areas, often being recognized as the operating system of the cloud and for
advancing the most complex technologies across data, mobile and virtualized
environments. Linux on the mainframe today has reached a critical mass such
that vendors, users and academia need a neutral forum to work together to
advance Linux tools and technologies and increase enterprise
innovation."
