Linuxcare Relaunches as Levanta Database Trends and
In a move that completes its transformation to a Applications Magazine
data center software developer and builds on the
positive reception of its initial product,
Linuxcare, Inc. has announced its relaunch as a Every month Database
new company and the change of its name to Levanta, Trends and Applications
Inc. The company also announced the availability magazine provides

architecture on Linux. articles, peer
..... "The occasion for changing the name experience and market
officially is that we have released a new product, research on data
Release 3 of Levanta for the PC Server platform," integration, data
Abigail Domine, director of marketing, said. "The center trends, business

really represented the legacy services business.
We still had confusion in the marketplace about
whether we were a services company or an
enterprise software company. Since we are really,
truly an enterprise software company, we wanted to
reflect that with the name. We're looking at this
as launching a new company that happens to have
the technology from the old company, as well."
..... Levanta will continue to develop data
center-proven software that allows IT
organizations to capitalize on the benefits of
Linux on PC server computing platforms as well as
on the mainframe. The Levanta Release 3 for PC
Server software from Levanta, Inc. offers: rapid
provisioning and application package creation for
broad-scale deployment; the ability to activate
and hibernate servers in minutes; authoritative
change control or prevention with granular
rollback; seamless transition between virtual
servers and physical hardware; and support for
disaster recovery and server version control.
Levanta's platform manages Linux on Intel PC
Servers and IBM mainframes. For more information
on Levanta, which is headquartered in San
Francisco, go to www.levanta.com.
Mainsoft's Visual MainWin Eases Migration to Linux
Mainsoft Corp., a cross-platform development
company, has inked deals with Computer Associates
and Siebel Systems for Visual MainWin, which
allows enterprise customers to use .NET
development tools and skills to create Linux-based
Web applications and Web services. "IBM is
delivering credibility to Linux as a strong
alternative to Windows," said Yaakov Cohen,
president and CEO of Mainsoft. "This makes it
easier to migrate from Windows to Linux."
..... Visual MainWin enables C# and Visual Basic
.NET developers to rapidly develop Web
applications and Web services for Tomcat using
ASP.NET and Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET
development software. "The Microsoft development
culture is different than the Linux development
culture," Cohen pointed out. "This will help
Microsoft-centric shops accelerate their use of
Linux. It brings the .NET languages to the J2EE
platform."
..... Many companies, he noted, are developing
applications that run J2EE on the back end and
.NET on the front end. "This allows them to run
code cross their platform without being trapped,"
Cohen said.
Linux Networx Offers Grid Solution
Linux Networx has announced its ability to provide
grid-enabled cluster computing solutions. Its
Evolocity cluster solution from Linux Networx can
be deployed with grid software from Platform
Computing and open source grid standard Globus to
help customers make better use of IT resources and
run jobs across a grid infrastructure. Linux
Networx provides cluster computing solutions based
on the Linux operating system coupled with the
company's Evolocity hardware and Integrated
Cluster Environment (ICE) cluster management
software and appliance. The company offered the
first commercially available Linux cluster in
1997. "We see grid technology moving from high
performance computing to the enterprise," Eric
Pitcher, vice president, product marketing, told
The New IBM LinuxLine in a private interview.
"Because of cost pressures, clusters will be more
widely used in the enterprise."
..... The main barrier, he added, is the cost of
parallelizing existing software applications to
make effective use of distributed memory. The goal
of grid computing is to enable different computing
systems, which may be geographically dispersed, to
dynamically and virtually share applications, data
and computational resources. With grid-enabled
cluster systems, organizations can make better use
of existing computing resources by providing users
with a single, aggregated source of computing
power.
.INSIDE LINUX AT IBM
IBM Linux Briefings In Selected Cities
IBM is sponsoring a series of complimentary
briefings focused on how to help companies
"speed-start" their Linux applications. To be held
in selected cities in July, Linux experts will
examine the large-scale adoption of Linux as the
computing platform of choice in governments and
large corporations, and the benefit of adopting
Linux. These sessions will demonstrate the ease of
migrating a Windows NT-based infrastructure to
Linux and include demonstrations illustrating the
simplicity of moving file, print, Web and
application servers to Linux, as well as migrating
domain controllers, mail servers, databases and
applications. Topics will also include migration
strategies for moving a Windows-based desktop
environment to Linux and developing applications
for Linux. The briefings will be held in New York,
Boston, Denver and Minneapolis. For details, click

Support for Multi-Linux Distributions on POWER
Systems
Independent Software Vendors (ISV) can extend
their application portfolios and drive new
revenues by expanding their Linux on POWER
services to include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3,
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 and Turbolinux
Enterprise Server 8 support. Supporting multiple
Linux distributions on POWER systems can be a
smart business decision. Standards make it is easy
to enable applications across distributions. For a
complete roadmap to enabling applications across
Linux distributions on POWER and for resources IBM
can offer to assist in this process, click here.

.SPOT LIGHT
Linux on the xSeries Extends its Reach
Based in Germany, Friedrich Grohe AG & Co. is a
leading supplier of water technology solutions,
including bathroom and kitchen fittings, faucets
and showers. The undisputed market leader in
Germany and Europe, Grohe is the largest exporter
of bathroom fittings in the world. Cutting edge
information technology has played an important
role at Grohe. Currently, a mobile sales
application based on mySAP Customer Relationship
Management (mySAP CRM) Mobile Sales running on IBM
eServer xSeries under the Linux operating system
is an important element of its enterprise
information efforts. According to Grohe officials,
the SAP/Linux/xSeries package offered clear
advantages in performance, reliability,
manageability and cost.
..... Applications like the one at Grohe
demonstrate the evolution of the use of Linux on
the IBM eServer xSeries, IBM's Intel-based server
platform. "We have seen a dramatic shift in the
use of Linux among our customers," said Leo
Suarez, Vice President and Business Line
Executive, xSeries in the IBM Server Group. Linux
on xSeries servers was first used on basic
information infrastructure applications such as
print and file serving, he noted. Next, Linux on
xSeries emerged as the platform to extended
serving. Now, however, Linux on xSeries is being
deployed for complex enterprise level application
such as enterprise resource management and human
resource applications. For the rest of the story,
