IBM Linux mainframe replaces Sun at European telecom IBM Corp. mainframes running Linux will replace Sun Microsystems Inc. servers at Scandinavian elecommunications company Telia, Big Blue said Wednesday. IBM (NYSE: IBM) has been pushing Linux across its four server product lines, the most expensive of which is the mainframe zSeries, formerly known as the S/390 line. Using "partitioning" software, a mainframe can be split into several independent computers that share the same hardware. IBM and others have demonstrated running tens of thousands of Linux computers on a single mainframe. At Telia, a G6 mainframe with more than 1,500 virtual Linux servers will replace 70 existing Sun (Nasdaq: SUNW) Unix servers, IBM plans to announce Thursday. The Linux servers will host Telia business customers' Web sites. The deal is worth about $3 million, said IBM spokeswoman Trink Guarino. But it's expected to bring in more revenue in the future, as Telia upgrades the system to accommodate more customers. -- Stephen Shankland, Special to ZDNet News zdnet.com
