The company will push the Eclipse Rich Client Platform for hosting cross platform applications, Eclipse frameworks for development, Web application servers based on Geronimo, open source database Apache Derby and license-free IBM DB2 Express-C, the Aperi open source management project, open hardware organizations, Open Grid Services Architecture and Globus Alliance.
Handy said IBM will parlay its success with large open source projects such as Linux, Apache and Eclipse to drive growth in these eight disciplines, including the IBM Global Services business. Linux has ballooned into a $7 billion business since IBM began investing in it seven years ago.
IBM currently has 15,000 customer engagements with Linux and more than 7,000 Linux Global Services consultants available to help customers build Linux solutions. The company has also pledged to make its Lotus Notes and SameTime IM corporate applications available on Linux natively.
IBM will also continue to drive advancements in the Linux kernel. To that end, IBM plans to integrate its Cell BE processor technologies into the Linux kernel and will work with Red Hat to extend Security-Enhanced Linux.
