Linux Server OS

IBM has developed technologies to power systems with some of the most advanced servers in the world: the IBM eServer product family. Based on a broad scope of open architectures and equipped with sophisticated features and functionality, IBM servers can help businesses control costs to weather rough economic conditions and to help ensure uptime of critical business applications - all in a flexible, adaptable environment that can meet the needs of on demand e-business. tech news

As data centers have grown with the proliferation of Intel-based servers over recent years, it is important to note that rack space and floor space can be more efficiently used with the use of the IBM eServer BladeCenter HS20 servers. Attractive cost savings are also possible where a large number of rack installed servers are required, since the equivalent number of 1U servers would be much more expensive. This paper describes how to set up and configure Linux and Samba on the IBM eServer BladeCenter and provides some pointers on managing the installation. It also describes the functionality of the IBM eServer BladeCenter in this type of environment. tech news

This paper addresses strategies for a migration from Microsoft Windows file and print servers to Samba on Linux file and print services. When migrating systems, it is always best to use a phased approach. At the end of each phase, and before the start of the next, the entire system should be working the same as, or better than, it was working before. tech news

This paper describes why to migrate from Microsoft Exchange 5.5 to IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 6, and also provides a quick how-to. It also explains the benefits of having Lotus Domino running on a Linux platform. Memory management in Linux is one of the main reasons it is stable and highly available. Under Linux, memory utilization it is very effective, freeing unused resources to be used later by other applications, especially in Domino where the workload is based on the number of concurrent users. tech news
