 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

 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
 here.

 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.

 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,
